Our learning structure provides an important platform for learning and exchange to our members and their local partners. We are convinced that by learning together, using synergies as well as pooling resources, we can strengthen our competence base and thus improve the impact of our work.

Our Learning Groups

Our two learning groups on “SDG 16+” and on “Good Governance and Partnerships” bring together programme officers from all member organisations. A regular exchange of experiences is complemented by the development of adapted tools and knowledge products, which are tested in pilot projects and made available to the members of the KoGe. Learning events for programme staff and their local partners complete the offer.

The learning community is our laboratory for innovation. It is a space where new approaches, innovative methods and creative forms of collaboration can be tested. To do so, we carefully design our learning moments, using inclusive and person-centred facilitation methods such as Liberating Structures or Art of Hosting.

Focal Point SDG 16+: Flavia Ganarin
Focal Point GG and Partnerships: Corinna Bütikofer Nkhoma


Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)

In a participatory process, the Community of Cooperation has developed a programme on peace, justice and inclusive societies covering more than 40 countries, to which all nine member organisations contribute with their worldwide programmes.

Thanks to our joint programming framework, the independent member organisations will be enabled to report their impact jointly and in a focused manner. They are supported in this work by the MEL Officer and our external quality commission.


Key Indicator Guidelines

Key Indicators (KIs) are a simple and reliable way to measure progress towards set goals by standardising data collection and reporting. Through our KIs, data from all nine members and their 150 worldwide partner organisations becomes comparable while the critical analysis of the results promotes shared learning.

KoGe is currently developing Key Indicator guidelines in a participatory learning process involving programme officers from all member organisations. In the spirit of open source collaboration, we are herewith making our KI Guidelines available to other organisations under the Creative Commons License.
