Gradually building the learning network:
n January-March 2009: Scoping phase
n April-September 2009: Development phase
n September 2009 onward: Operational phase

Scoping phase
n Needs and expectations of GPFLR partners
n Needs and expectations of learning sites
n Identification of learning objectives
n Identification of learning strategy
n Identification of opportunities and risks
![Page 10: GPFLR Towards a global learning network of sites by Cora van Oosten](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/55496febb4c905d8558b52ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Positive:
n Linking practitioners, policy makers and academia
n Up-scaling of site experience
n International exposure of site managers
n Fosters creativity and critical thinking
n Dialogue - action oriented - institutional change
Scoping phase: overall opinion
![Page 11: GPFLR Towards a global learning network of sites by Cora van Oosten](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/55496febb4c905d8558b52ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Scoping phase: objectives
n “Reforest the world”
n Feed policy makers with evidence-based advice
n Further develop FLR concept through shared learning and practice
n Enhance local FLR efforts
![Page 12: GPFLR Towards a global learning network of sites by Cora van Oosten](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/55496febb4c905d8558b52ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Scoping phase: Knowledge for action
n Pure action networks: lobby & advocacy
n Pure knowledge networks: exchange knowledge without using that knowledge to take action (academic networks)
n Knowledge for action: exchange of knowledge to help practitioners do their work more effectively
(Source: Brown & Salafsky, 2004, quoted by Conje, 2005)
![Page 14: GPFLR Towards a global learning network of sites by Cora van Oosten](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/55496febb4c905d8558b52ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Scoping phase: good practices network
n Information Exchange Network: provision of information, one-way traffic, info from providers to users
n Research network: formal learning framework, pre-defined research questions, data collection
n “Good Practices” Network: (in) formal learning framework, continuous change, learning by doing, two-way traffic
(Source: Brown & Salafsky, 2004, quoted by Conje, 2005)
![Page 15: GPFLR Towards a global learning network of sites by Cora van Oosten](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/55496febb4c905d8558b52ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Good practice network
n No practice is best, many practices are good
n Good practice = Innovativen Good practice = Effectiven Sustainablen Good practice = Replicable (?)
Only if shared and contextualised
![Page 16: GPFLR Towards a global learning network of sites by Cora van Oosten](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/55496febb4c905d8558b52ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Good practice network
We also learn from:
n Bad practicen Problems encounteredn Failuresn Difficulties
Only if openly presented and shared
