Across July and August 2023, the Knowledge SUCCESS East Africa team hosted their third Learning Circles cohort with twenty-two FP/RH practitioners from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan, and Ghana.
Across our regional work in East Africa, the Knowledge SUCCESS project has prioritized knowledge management (KM) capacity strengthening and ongoing mentorship as a key strategy to sustaining effective use of KM approaches across individuals, organizations, and networks.
Learning Circles are held virtually (four weekly two-hour sessions) or in person (three full consecutive days), in English and in French. The first cohorts were facilitated by Knowledge SUCCESS regional program officers, but to ensure the sustainability of the model, Knowledge SUCCESS has since partnered with other organizations (such as FP2030 and Breakthrough ACTION) to train them to facilitate.

Pour lever le rideau sur ce qui fonctionne et ce qui ne fonctionne pas dans les programmes de PF/SR, le projet Knowledge SUCCESS a lancé les Learning Circles, une activité spécialement conçue pour répondre aux besoins de dialogue transparent et d'apprentissage entre divers professionnels de la PF/SR pour l'amélioration des programmes.
