What have we learned about learning?. unpacking the relationship between knowledge and organisational change in development agencies

This paper analyzes "the learning hypothesis" in development cooperation, proposing a framework that connects knowledge, learning, organizational change, and effectiveness. It highlights insufficient evidence supporting the idea that increased knowledge leads to learning and change in agencies, with tacit learning dominating over explicit systems. Further research is needed to explore these relationships and reassess the role of research and evaluation in development practices.
