Lesson-76535-3

The training information given to anchor groups and committees should be transferred to their respective civil society organizations in a timely manner. The project’s adaptation of the collective impact approach to capacity building focused on training the solidarity network anchor groups and committees 1, 2, and 3, who were then expected to share or replicate the information with their civil society organization constituents. However, the process of transferring information did not always occur in a timely manner throughout the project implementation period. Because human behavior change is incremental, the release of accumulated information reduces the likelihood of permanent changes that will lead to sustainable outcomes. Instead, an abundance of information was accumulated by each anchor group, leaving a tremendous amount to transfer at the end of the project. It is important to place more focus on the anchor groups from the start of the project, especially on aspects of knowledge transfer, facilitation, and leadership.
