AAS Hub Review & Reflection Workshop II

1. AAS Hub Review & Reflection Workshop II Penang, January 13 – 17, 2014

2. Why a Review and Reflection Workshop? • For AAS to succeed we must build a culture of Knowledge Sharing and Learning • Our Monitoring and Evaluation system emphasizes learning • Our main tool for facilitating collective learning are review and reflection workshops which we hold across program scales – all hubs had an AAR at end of 2013 • This is the second program level review and reflection workshop • Last year at this time we held one which harnessed learning from roll-out from the first three hubs and helped us plan for roll-out and implementation in 2013

3. Objectives for this week • Agree on collective program learning and its implications for 2014 and beyond • Identify emergent outcomes across hubs and agree on process to produce evidence of movement along hub and program impact pathways • Socialize the IDO process and agree on next steps for building common baseline instrument • Use learning and agreements to strengthen implementation plans for 2014

4. Process • Create a safe space for reflection and learning that emphasizes sharing between hubs • Build our understanding of what we are learning and how we need to adapt what we are doing from the experiences in hubs • Use CGIAR system and program level thinking/framing to build coherence across implementation in the hubs • Use learning to revisit implementation plans to ensure we are putting our learning into practice

5. Outline of Week Day 1 – Review of 2013 to harness collective learning and identify implications Day 2 – Identifying key outcomes and understand our approach and scaling pathways Day 3 – Defining our M&E for outcomes Day 4 – Planning for 2014

6. Expected Outputs • Agreement on collective lessons learned and their implications – input into a publication in our Evaluation and Learning Series • Emerging outcomes mapped onto scaling pathways • Agreement on priority evidence and process to collect • Agreed process for developing a common baseline instrument • Updated 2014 work plans
