The Adaptive Learning for Transformation Achievement (ALTA) Toolkit exists as a knowledge hub for the development practitioner who wants to learn about the project’s performance in real-time during implementation, gain key insights on how to adapt to complex realities, and ensure a lasting impact for project beneficiaries.

Development project managers are consistently faced with a dilemma: how do we draft a specific implementation plan with a detailed activity schedule that will align with donor policies while still having the necessary flexibility to consistently adapt to the changing context and unforeseen circumstances at play in the field? How does a project manager navigate the varying incentives from the donor and implementation partners, while staying committed to achieving the impact promised to beneficiaries?

While not a panacea for these complex issues, the ALTA toolkit is here to help by highlighting consistent learning, deep reflection, and innovative adaptation skills to help project managers succeed. Throughout the toolkit, you will find questions designed for self-reflection that are meant to be returned to throughout the implementation process. Consistently reflecting on how the project is aligning with its stated impact will help even the most complex project achieve the livelihood transformation it seeks.
