Contribute Content

Your own experience contributes to broader learning among practitioners who want to improve development outcomes.

What content are we looking for?

Resources

Knowledge products that translate evidence and good practice into practical insights and specific guidance helps users more effectively apply learning in their own work. Resources that are particularly valuable to the Learning Lab community include:

  • Guidance notes, learning briefs, assessments, and/or evaluations that communicate lessons learned or practical applications of learning and adapting
  • Tools and templates that can be practically employed by practitioners to integrate CLA, monitoring, and evaluation practices

Blogs

Blogs are a useful format for sharing short-form narrative content, such as providing context for resources or new evidence, or storytelling about a particular learning approach. Typically written in a more informal style, a blog goes beyond or behind the scenes of a report or assessment. Examples of the type of content that might be found in blog submissions include:

  • Experiences and insights from everyday learning that happens throughout a project
  • Insights from a recent conference or event in local context
  • Documentation of something that didn't go well, lessons learned, and opportunities for improvement

Events

Learning Lab promotes public USAID and development industry-related events. If your organization is sponsoring an event that is relevant to the community and you'd like to get the word out, we encourage you to create and submit an event post. Please note, Learning Lab will not accept events with a registration fee. Examples of the types of events that may be promoted include:

  • In-person or virtual events
  • Conferences, presentations, trainings, or webinars
