Covid Collective Learning Report

Abstract

This report provides an overview the Covid Collective research platform, how it was operationalised, and the learning which emerged from the three-year programme. The foundation of the Covid Collective’s theory of change was the network and relationships that were established and developed to harness collaboration and sharing of knowledge across a platform of global research partners. We acknowledged the critical role knowledge sharing, learning and engagement played in creating a culture that could enable and catalyse evidence-based, transformative action in response to Covid-19. The network that was developed in forming the Covid Collective could then facilitate comparative learning and collective action, and generate new insights and knowledge on the factors that support more or less effective responses to Covid-19 and help to build resilience to address future global development challenges.
