| Summary: | Designing and implementing study tours
that get results can be a big undertaking. This guide, the
art of designing and implementing study tours, aims to take
out the guesswork by breaking down the process into simple
steps. The study tour guide is written specifically for
those who broker or coordinate or facilitate Study Tours
between knowledge seekers and knowledge providers. A study
tour is a learning journey for both the knowledge providers
and seekers as it truly taps into the power and potential of
peer-to-peer learning. When designing a study tour, it is
useful to consider the different needs and characteristics
of these two groups separately. Based on the World Bank
Group’s flagship publication, the art of knowledge exchange:
a results-focused planning guide for development
practitioners, this study tour guide benefits greatly from
the tried and tested roadmap and results-focused methodology
of the art of knowledge exchange. It is an effort to delve
deeper into one of the knowledge exchange instruments from
the Art of Knowledge Exchange Toolbox, and provide detailed
guidance on how to design and implement study tours for
higher development impact. Based on the World Bank Group’s
flagship publication. This study tour guide benefits greatly
from the tried and tested roadmap and results-focused
methodology of the art of knowledge exchange. It is an
effort to delve deeper into one of the knowledge exchange
instruments from the art of knowledge exchange toolbox, and
provide detailed guidance on how to design and implement
study tours for higher development impact. This guide uses a
primary case study, study tour in Action, to illustrate the
five steps in the art of knowledge exchange methodology.
These five steps, anchor, define, design, implement, and
evaluate, provide the roadmap for effective Study Tours that
get results. The guide also highlights four additional
examples to illustrate how study tours have supported
development outcomes when systematically designed and
integrated as a part of a larger change process. |
