As a data collection and survey platform that works internationally on family planning surveys and collaborates with partner organizations in Asia and Africa, Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) knows that learning is a requirement for this work—as it is for a university-based organization, and for any organization or project that wants to be successful in the 21st century.
But PMA went further than just passively letting learning happen and assuming that it would be effective. In 2017, the organization began its first iteration of what today is called Technical Knowledge Exchange (TKX), a structured, project-wide learning initiative that works to promote and support intentional learning as a focus of PMA’s work.
This report shares what PMA learned in the process of its evolution, to help others consider if and how it might benefit from implementing a learning program, or even simply taking small steps toward becoming a learning organization.
