What is the Learning Hub?
The Learning Hub is an innovative approach and model that substitutes traditional MEL/reporting processes with a grantee-led learning process, which is collaborative and equitable.
It is guided by the efforts of democratising philanthropy, challenging power dynamics between funders and grantee partners, and providing safe spaces for shared learning.
The Learning Hub is grounded in the belief that social change requires:
real-time feedback loops
learning and sharing among all stakeholders
new network connections among stakeholders
In practice, this is translated into participatory grantmaking processes, learning calls, sharing events, data mining for the creation of knowledge products, and knowledge management processes
Our Values
Brave Safe Spaces
The Learning Hub fosters spaces where participants feel safe to share in openness and where we are continuously reflective of the power we each hold.
Participatory and Learning Focused
Decision-making power is deferred to the key stakeholders who best represent those impacted by these decisions.
Non-Extractive
Recognising the time and effort involved in MEL activities, we work to ensure that approaches are collaborative and beneficial for all those involved.
Flexible and Transparent
The Learning Hub responds and adapts to the unique contexts and needs of the Fund partners and actively encourages open discussion.
