Paper: Collective learning and knowledge production in donor-assisted education projects: Can they be regulated in the common project cycle?
Affiliation: Innovations for Poverty Action – Uganda
Bursary Awarded: 2013
In 2013 I was living and working in Uganda, as I had been for a couple of years. Working as a programme manager and designer, I gained many insights and reflecting on the practice from my academic background I realised education organisations benefit from collective learning. I felt like these insights should be tested by an expert audience and should be part of the discourse on learning, monitoring and evaluation of education programs.
When my abstract was accepted and I was awarded a bursary I was very grateful. As a young reflective practitioner such conferences as UKFIET make the difference. It provided a platform to share, learn, keep a foot in academia as my other foot was still in the practice. It goes beyond sharing during the conference, through writing the paper and the insightful feedback I received, I managed to focus my ideas. Today I am preparing a PhD proposal in the same area.
In 2013 Marit attended and presented her paper Collective learning and knowledge production in donor-assisted education projects: Can they be regulated in the common project cycle?
