Learning for influence methodology

Abstract

The Learning for Influence methodology uses narratives and storytelling within a complexity framing to generate and capture experiences that may be missed by other monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) approaches. Learning for Influence can complement other MEL approaches, such as outcome mapping, outcome harvesting, Most Significant Change, and impact stories. The methodology focuses on four dimensions that shape how influencing policy and practice happens: context, organizational approach(es), examples from practice, and stories of impact. It also aims to generate multiple perspectives within an organization and can also be used for collaborative learning across a network of organizations working together. Therefore, the methodology should involve a variety of individuals within organizations working to influence policy and practice.
