Pelican Initiative
Platform for Evidence-based Learning & Communications for Social Change
Pelican aims to enhance practical understanding of joint learning processes in development and to identify strategies to strengthen them. This platform for social change brings together practitioners, specialists and policy makers to share experiences, and to push the agenda on three themes: evidence and learning for policy change; learning in organisations and among partners; and society-wide learning among a multitude of stakeholders.
Initiators of the Pelican Initiative are the International Development Research Centre (IDRC www.idrc.ca), the European Centre for Development policy Management (ECDPM www.ecdpm.org), Exchange (www.healthcomms.org), Bellanet (www.bellanet.org) and Unicef East Africa Regional Office (www.unicef.org/infobycountry/esaro.html)
