Development agencies have not always provided an enabling environment for organisational learning. Learning is often seen as less valuable than ‘doing’. It is difficult to find donors who will recognise the value of, and fund, adequate time, space and resources for learning.
Building on the ideas and challenges introduced in Praxis Paper 3: ‘Organisational Learning in NGOs: Creating the Motive, Means and Opportunity.’, this paper argues that organisational learning is a developmental process that integrates thinking and doing at both individual and collective levels. Ultimately, development organisations need to decide on, and take responsibility for, their own learning. Putting organisational learning into practice may seem daunting. However, with supportive leadership, taking small steps and changing daily practices can contribute towards a gradual process of strengthening an organisation’s culture of learning.
