Abstract
The challenge was to learn about and improve effectiveness of development programming, and satisfy the demands of widely used accountability frameworks such as Results-Based Management methods. Two specific objectives were: to develop learning systems within organizations that can balance and integrate collaborative planning, evaluation and inquiry; and document community of practice innovation in learning systems research so as to facilitate dialogue with broader networks and donors about ways to combine learning with accountability. During this time the themes of assessment of gender impacts and the assessment of risk or threats to project goals were also addressed.
