CKU and Digni warmly invite member organizations, partners, and stakeholders to a hybrid conference where we will present and discuss key findings from the FORB Learning Review, where consultants during this year have analyzed learnings and best practices from FORB projects in the CKU and Digni portfolio. The findings are based on desk studies, online surveys, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The event will focus on what works in practice—and how we can collectively strengthen implementation and documentation of FoRB-related efforts. The review is a follow-up on the recommendations from the Community of Practice FoRB in Development pilot meeting in the Fall of 2023 and will be followed by the development of the FoRB Localized Indicator Tool to be presented in January 2026.
