In this article titled "Learning through networking and information exchange: how NGOs can increase their impact", it is noted that research by the London School of Economics and Political Science and the Institute for Development Policy and Management shows "that learning from the field is essential to enable INGOs (international non-governmental organizations) to influence wider policy-making and improve local accountability. As their focus changes from operational work to international advocacy, INGOs must strengthen institutional learning structures and learning skills." This site has a summary report of the research, together with links to additional resources. This is a great article to cite in internal strategic plans and funding proposals relating to networking and learning.
