Resource Guides Empower Global Change

We have had the privilege to work with one of our clients to develop a collection of resource guides—along with many supporting materials—to help build the foundation of a healthy, sustainable society. These engaging and accessible tools deliver evidence-based techniques and strategies to local leaders, research partners, aid organizations like Save the Children and Mercy Corps, and host governments around the world. With color-coded graphics and navigation icons, we ensured quick and easy access to these valuable resources.

 

The Resilience Evaluation, Analysis, and Learning (REAL) activity, created to inform programming in shock-prone areas of the world, has been analyzing the results of interventions since 2016. The technical guidance, research, capacity-building, and webinars were organized into a user-friendly resource designed to help communities worldwide adopt effective strategies.

For the Implementer-Led Design, Evidence, Analysis and Learning (IDEAL) activity, the focus is on capturing six years of learning—from webinars, technical toolkits, online courses, and case studies—into an intuitive resource.

Similarly, we created a centralized hub for five years’ worth of training packages, technical guides, learning briefs, and video tutorials produced through the Practices, Research, and Operations in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (PRO-WASH) activity.

For the Strengthening Capacity in Agriculture, Livelihoods, and Environment (SCALE) team, we designed a resource guide that makes its extensive collection of agricultural and natural resource management tools easily accessible.

This library of resource guides highlights how our USAID-funded clients have empowered communities to build healthy and resilient futures. See their potential for global change below. (Unfortunately, most of the links to the resources in the guides are no longer active, but you can see the wealth of resources that were available.)
