Evidence base for collaboration, learning and adaptation (EB4CLA) : final report

It utilized a qualitative methodology involving key informant interviews and focus group discussions with the staff and partners of two organizations over an 18-month period in order to draw conclusions about if and how investments in CLA led to better results. Research found that these investments were linked to change in the behavior of partners, particularly in terms of how partnerships were able to evolve over time. Likewise, investments were shown to have an impact on each organizations’ higher-level decision making with regard to intervention logic, which in turn may have helped contribute to one organization’s systemic change objectives.
