SUMMARY:Intro to knowledge synthesis for knowledge users – Online course
DESCRIPTION:Participate in this 3-month online course\, starting in January. \nThis course will teach students about knowledge synthesis in general\, as well as how to conduct knowledge\nsynthesis projects. Students will begin to conduct knowledge synthesis in the topic of their choice\, with guidance\nfrom the course directors. \nAt the end of this course\, students will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate between different types of knowledge synthesis\, such as systematic reviews and qualitative\nevidence reviews\nDistinguish between different types of evidence that can be summarized in knowledge synthesis\nDevelop a knowledge synthesis question\nEstablish the eligibility criteria for knowledge synthesis\nCreate a knowledge synthesis protocol\n\nParticipants will develop a protocol that is ready for registration that has been reviewed by the course directors. \nInterested in joining? Email Meghan.Storey@UnityHealth.to or apply now! \nFind more details here: https://bit.ly/42AoohE

SUMMARY:Measuring What Matters: Inclusive\, Monitoring\, Evaluation\,& Learning (MEL) at the Triple Nexus
DESCRIPTION:Measuring What Matters explores best practices for designing and implementing inclusive MEL systems that support real-time reflection\, adaptation\, and equity-centered decision-making. Grounded in feminist and locally led approaches\, the series supports Canadian international cooperation actors to shift MEL from donor-driven reporting toward locally led learning that strengthens program quality\, relevance\, and justice across humanitarian\, development\, and peacebuilding contexts. Sessions combine interactive activities\, peer learning\, and practical application\, with supplemental learning materials to keep participants engaged throughout the training series. \nThis three-part series is designed for a broad range of practitioners\, reflecting a commitment to breaking down silos and fostering collaborative\, evidence-based practice. Inclusive\, locally driven MEL depends on multi-stakeholder engagement across roles\, sectors\, and geographies. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a cumulative training series\, the discussion will build at each session. Participants are encouraged to attend all three of the virtual training sessions. Following the main training sessions\, the facilitators will join two additional\, optional learning sessions.   \n\nSession One – Inclusive MEL at the Triple Nexus: Principals and Pitfalls – Thursday\, February 26 at 1:00 – 2:30 PM EST.  \nSession Two – Power\, Participation and What We Measure: Shaping MEL for Equity – Thursday\, March 12\, 2026 at 1:00 – 2:30 EST.\nSession Three: From Data to Insight: Practical Tools for Inclusive & Adaptive Learning – Thursday\, March 26\, 2026 at 1:00 – 2:30 PM EST.  \n\nLearning Spaces (optional): Thursday April 9\, 2026 at 1:00 – 2:00 PM EST\, Thursday May 7\, 2026 at 1:00 – 2:00 PM EST \n*spaces are limited so we encourage you to register as soon as you can \n\n\n\n\nParticipation fee: $100 per participant for the full course (3 sessions + optional learning spaces) \nCooperation Canada is committed to making our trainings accessible\, especially for actors traditionally excluded from sector-wide initiatives due to limited resources. Fee waivers or reduced fees are available. Please email programs@cooperation.ca for support.  \n\n\n\n\nMeasuring What Matters challenges and supports participants to shift from extractive\, top-down monitoring and evaluation systems towards inclusive approaches that are community-centered\, and grounded in learning and equity. Rooted in the realities of the humanitarian-development-peace nexus\, this training series empowers participants to reflect on their MEL practice\, explore power dynamics in measurement and learning\, and apply tools for real-time reflection and accountability. \nThis program is designed to equip participants with the ability to:  \n\nExplain key principles of inclusive and locally-led MEL within the context of the triple nexus.\nAnalyze common dilemmas around what is measured\, who defines success\, and how learning is shared\, owned\, and acted upon.\nIdentify opportunities to make MEL systems more adaptive\, learning-focused\, and equity-responsive.\nApply practical tools that embed real-time reflection\, course correction\, and community realities into MEL practice.\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?  Intended for practitioners across the humanitarian\, development\, and peace sectors with a basic understanding of MEL\, especially those working with marginalized populations\, including MEL specialists\, program managers\, funders\, GAC policy and technical leads\, and country office and local partners. \nAttend here!
