FACILITATED LEARNING EXCHANGE VISITS
​As a method of peer learning the Facilitated Learning Exchanges have been conducted by COPASAH in the different regional nodes of practice. The facilitated learning exchange visits consist of a three part process- an introductory workshop, a field visit and later a debriefing session to agree on the way forward for implementing the learnings. These visits are envisaged to facilitate peer learning and to enable strengthening of the practitioners’ forum.
