Welcome to the Pelican Initiative! The Pelican Initiative focuses on the central question: How can we learn more from what we do while at the same time having the biggest possible impact on the social change processes in which we engage? We usually try to learn from what we do through monitoring and evaluation (M&E), participatory inquiry, research or combinations of these. We have made a lot of progress in developing better approaches and methods to allow relevant stakeholders to participate in such processes.

This platform seeks to bring together development practitioners from different disciplines, specialists and policy makers to explore this question, share experiences, and to push the agenda further on three themes:
It aims to enhance practical understanding of joint learning processes in development and to identify strategies to strengthen them. You can use this space to:
Contributors will be invited to participate in a series of publications based on materials and interactions that take place on this platform. For more background information on the Initiative, and on ways you can contribute, please refer to the document Learning for development: We can do better! Introduction & Guidelines to the Pelican Initiative. The initiative is open to all development practitioners, specialists and policy makers interested in the issue of learning for development. The inception phase is launched in January 2005 and will run over a period of 18 months (until end June 2006). An extension of this period is dependent on wider donor contributions and the success achieved during the inception phase. Partners in the South are particularly invited to join in and contribute cases and reflections on the issues at hand. The Pelican Initiative has a limited fund available to support Southern organizations in documenting their cases if needed (for further information, please refer to the Guidelines)
Initiators of the Pelican Initiative are the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the European Centre for Development policy Management (ECDPM), Exchange, Bellanet and Unicef East Africa Regional Office.
