We define ourselves as an organization committed to lifelong learning to ensure continuous improvement in the quality and impact of our work. We stay up to date on the latest developments in the topics and approaches we are working on. We participate in forums for debate and discussion, where we share experiences and evidence drawn from our practice.
Before, during, and after our initiatives, we engage with the people we work with to ensure that the design of projects, products, and other initiatives is aligned with the needs and interests of the groups we work with.
In addition to understanding the impact and evaluation of our work, we are interested in understanding what works, what doesn’t work, and why. That is why we are interested in both quantitative and qualitative aspects, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of the methodologies we use. We want to understand how change occurs and the relationship between individual change and collective and social change.
Some examples:
- Situational Assessments: We conduct assessments in Central America, for example, to understand the situation and interests of LGBTIQ+ groups in order to inform the design and outreach of our regional training programs.
- Joint Context Analysis: We bring together partner organizations to share and understand their perspectives on sociopolitical changes and how these changes affect them. The results inform our training and communication efforts in the areas of partnership-building and coordination.
- Analysis of Discourse, Platforms, and Social Media: We analyze trends in anti-rights political discourse in certain countries and aim to further investigate the correlation between this discourse and shifts in public opinion regarding diversity, equity, and respect for human rights, among other issues. We also want to explore the opinions of audiences on social media.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: We have a digital monitoring and evaluation system based on a platform that uses Jotform, Google, and Power BI tools to support the collection, processing, and analysis of information.
- Systematization: We have systematized a methodological process to prevent violence and suicide in schools in order to develop a manual that will be promoted in various organizations and educational institutions in the region.
- Learning-Based Innovation: Building on the needs we identified during our training work with migrants, we developed a mobile app that provides the migrant population with access to human rights and humanitarian aid centers.
