Watch @helennon.bsky.social and myself reflect on why we are building Propel. After seeing project knowledge disappear and teams start from scratch, we realised the problem was systemic. Propel was created as learning infrastructure, so organisations can be more effective. youtu.be/O65Lk67QeMc?...

“No more excuses.” Arianna Legovini from the @Worldbank calls adaptive programming the “GPS of development”. Using real-time data, learning and AI, they inform project cycles through learn, adapt and scale, doubling project effectiveness

‍#Peacebuilding depends on people learning from each other. New #knowledge is generated every day across countries, communities and teams. For a network like GPPAC, this means finding ways to make sure #lessons don’t get lost but are shared and used to strengthen peacebuilding efforts everywhere.

After 3 weeks on the road – from Berlin to Brussels to The Hague – we’re back, full of insights about the future of development & humanitarian work. We’ll be sharing what we’ve learned and how Propel is helping shape what’s next. Follow along! #innovation #impact #sustainableworld #tech #EHF25

"People are navigating differently. [...] While one is called improvers, others are seen as reimaginers. Perhaps there are tensions and discrepancies in ideas and values between these groups. But what is common for both is that they need insight to drive them."

🚀 Kicking off our tour tomorrow! We're meeting organisations ready to reimagine the learning infrastructure of the development & humanitarian sector with us at Propel – the collective intelligence platform for impact.

Sneak peek of our vision? DM me for the booklet.

We're off track on the SDGs. Funding is decreasing. But knowledge - shared, accessible, applied - can shift the course. Join us in building the learning infrastructure we actually need. This is your invitation.

Humanitarian assistance is collapsing in Gaza and Sudan - while billionaires send tourists to space. It’s not fair, but it’s real. Instead of freezing, let’s build genuine international cooperation. It takes a global village.

🚨 Now more than ever, we need to learn from experience in dev & humanitarian work. Some great resources:

1) World Vision on learning & accountability: bit.ly/3xxc4zp

2) KM4Dev Toolkit: bit.ly/3U2Rn5D

3) FAO course on experience capitalisation: bit.ly/4aWoGJh

USAID’s shutdown has left a real gap. The sector needs bold orgs to lead with fresh, adaptive, learning-based approaches. We’re looking for foundations & NGOs ready to build what’s next. Know someone? Let’s talk. #SDGs #development #humanitarian #NGOs #donors #foundations
