With All Our Hearts
Demand-Driven Learning in the International Development Sector
What if your team or organization could conduct its monitoring, evaluation and learning work on its own terms, rather than based on the requirements of donors? Would this breathe new life into the process? And if so, which organizations are already doing this? We set out to uncover the secrets of such "positive deviants," and learn what a more bottom-up, demand-driven form of learning would look like—one practiced with all our hearts?


"As short as the time
From spark to flame,
So brief may the distance be
Beween heart and being."
—John O'Donohue, "In Praise of Fire" To Bless the Space Between Us
