5.3 Reinforcing adaptive programming through the Feedback Day Method

RESILAC consortium case study on reinforcing adaptive programming through the Feedback Day Method

As the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading throughout the world, access to the field became difficult. Hence feedback from the supported communities were harder to get. The RESILAC project (Inclusive Economic and Social Recovery of Lake Chad) rolled out a mechanism which allows for regular feedback: the “Feedback Day” Method. Halfway between Outcome Harvesting and real-time evaluation methods, the “Feedback Day” is part of a continuous learning process that complements traditional community feedback mechanisms.

Through this case study, Groupe URD – in charge of the MEAL component in the RESILAC project – share their experience, the opportunities and hurdles they came across during this process and their recommendations for others to implement the Feedback Day method.
