USAID’s Bureau of Planning, Learning, and Resource Management held its second CLA Case Competition Bite-Sized Learning webinar on February 28: Alphabet Soup for the Soul: DEIA and CLA.
The event took place on February 28, 2024, and featured opening remarks from Neneh Diallo, USAID’s Chief Diversity Officer, and head of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in USAID’s Office of the Administrator. Expert panelists from Agency Implementing Partners Chemonics and Grassroots Soccer Zambia unpacked the question: How does the use of CLA by USAID staff, implementing partners, and other development practitioners advance Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in their contexts?

What is the Bite-Sized Learning Series?
A public event series, led by the Bureau of Planning, Learning, and Resource Management (PLR), draws lessons from the most recent of the 600+ Collaboration, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) Case Competition submissions now on USAID Learning Lab. Called Bite-Sized Learning, the series explores insights from across cases in applying CLA to tackle pressing development challenges.
The event series offers candid perspectives from development professionals within and beyond the Agency, as well as tangible tips and tools for applying CLA in your work. The series is open to USAID and its partners. We hope you will continue to join us! To that end, keep an eye out for the following upcoming invites:
May 2024: CLA Paves the Way…for Evidence Capture and Use
July 2024: CLA Saves the Day: Successful Activity Redesigns and Pivots

Previous Sessions
Session 1
On November 7, 2023, USAID’s Bureau of Planning, Learning, and Resource Management hosted Session 1 of the 2023-2024 Bite-Sized Learning Series: Operationalizing Localization through Collabrating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA). The session featured opening remarks from USAID’s Senior Advisor for Localization, Sarah Rose (see Sarah's reflection on the event here); as well as input from members of Agency implementing partners, Global Communities and The Institute for Development Impact (I4DI). During the session, participants watched this video, which can be seen below, and which zooms in on winning cases from the 2022 CLA Case Competition as a means to explore the links between CLA and localization. Then, in the Q&A session that followed, panelists and participants unpacked the question: How can USAID staff, implementing partners, and other development practitioners use CLA to advance localization in their contexts?
