Local Capacity Strengthening (LCS) Policy Learning and Feedback Forum

One year after the launch of the Local Capacity Strengthening (LCS) Policy, USAID is excited to host the first annual Learning and Feedback Forum, which will take place virtually over six days between Tuesday, October 10, 2023 and Thursday, October 19, 2023. The Forum will help inform the direction of Policy implementation for the coming year and consists of 11 virtual one-hour sessions that are open to the public and USAID staff. 

View the full schedule and register here. 

Be sure to look at the sector-specific session on Resilience, Environment, and Food Security on October 12  at 9 a.m. ET. Participants will have the opportunity to join constructive and transparent policy implementation discussions about how the LCS Policy is (or is not) affecting resilient approaches to locally-led development.  Additionally, participants will learn about evidence-based guidance and resources to help ensure locally-led development is contributing to building resilient communities worldwide.
