Case studies

The meeting heard three case studies where donors and practitioners spoke about their collaborative approaches to learning, evaluation and the effectiveness of their work. The first case study also heard from an academic who had carried out research with the donor and media development organisation presenting the case study.

Following the case studies, attendees broke out into three groups to hold more detailed discussions.

At the links below you can find summaries of the three case studies including the highlights of the breakout group discussions.
