What we are learning

Learning is central to Integrity Action’s mission and culture. With every reflection, conversation, research finding or piece of feedback we receive, we are dedicated to asking: what is this telling us? And how can we do better?

We always aim to go further and ask: what can we learn from this?

Here you will find blogs, reports and other resources such as evaluations. Our commitment is not only to share such information, but to look for the learning angle in all of it. A story of impact from one of our projects is all very well, but in every case we aim to go further and ask: what can we learn from this?

We will also use this space to share information on what we are hoping to learn in the future, and to share our take on trends in social accountability and international development. If you can help us fill one of our knowledge gaps, please get in touch!

We work with partners on short-term initiatives, so what happens when these initiatives end? As two programme cycles recently ended, this offers us an insight into what sustainability can look like for social accountability and what is required to support it.
