Investigating Action and Learning

Next steps

Why should GNDR do it?

• GNDR is recognized as a credible and legitimate actor by governments and the UN for its ability to mobilize a vast network; coordinating local organisations to report on local conditions.

• These qualities place GNDR ideally to investigate and report on how Action and Learning can strengthen people-centred resilience.

• GNDR’s 500 CSO members operate worldwide.

• VFL methodology draws together CSOs in data gathering, analysis and advocacy.

Funding . . .Some financial resources will be available . . .

•Costs of reporting during the project

•Small grants available where a member and community make a case for 'pump-priming' a particular action.

•The goal of the programme is to document the experiences of community-led initiatives, owned by the community, rather than to promote and fund externally driven and resourced projects.

“The great thing about

GNDR is it’s not an

NGO!”
