Et nyt syd-syd samarbejde støttet af Storbritannien giver afrikanske og asiatiske lande adgang til informationer om Latinamerikas erfaringer med smålandbrug, menneskerettigheder og klimarobuste byer.
ELLA stands for Evidence and Lessons from Latin America—and it’s a South-South learning and exchange initiative that shares knowledge with sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, writes International Institute for Economy and Environment on their homepage Monday.
ELLA builds ‘learning alliances’ that are a cross between an online learning programme and a community of practice. Each alliance starts with a moderated learning phase.
Members log in to the ELLA website where a special learning space offers weekly discussions, created by an expert moderator from one of three regional centres of expertise. (GRADE, a Lima-based think tank, covers economic development themes. Fundar, a Mexico City-based think tank, works with ELLA on governance themes. And on climate change, it’s the Rio de Janeiro-based arm of SouthSouthNorth).
The moderators provide a structure to the curriculum by creating weekly discussions, and members can then post contributions and add links and documents.
Each week, the moderators review all the contributions and then feed their analysis back to the group to conclude the discussion. Each alliance also gets an online networking space and access to a members’ directory.
ELLA’s first three alliances, on extractive industries, citizen oversight, and climate change adaptation in semi-arid and arid regions, have just completed their learning phase.
