"How might we... re-imagine capacity building for civil society organisations?" The story of The Learning Hub can be traced back to this question asked by a team of Aga Khan Foundation, la Caixa Foundation, and civil society staff in Mozambique in 2014.
Together, we had set out to solve a problem encountered by many of the more than 40,000 civil society organisations (CSOs) AKF works with across the world – the lack of readily accessible, high-quality, locally relevant, engaging, and practical learning content. The first iteration of AKF's blended learning model emerged from the Human-Centred Design (HCD) process that was used to find innovative solutions to this problem.
The model combined self-paced learning through fully localised video lessons produced in a low-cost fashion, followed by a short, highly engaging in-person workshop where learners could engage actively throughout the learning process.
This approach helped improve and standardise training quality, reduced the duration and cost of in-person training, and provided a more meaningful and dynamic learning experience – to audiences who wouldn't have otherwise had access to such learning opportunities.
AKF's blended learning model has since been tested, iterated on, and scaled in collaboration with AKF staff, partners, communities, and practitioners around the world – and with a range of different target audiences.
Today, teachers, farmers, entrepreneurs, government officials, and parents in Egypt, India, Kenya, the Kyrgyz Republic, Madagascar, Mozambique, Portugal, Syria, Tajikistan, and many other countries will all find locally produced, relevant, practical, high-quality learning content in their own language or dialect on The Learning Hub.
