practices to replicate

Appreciate: To realize our inherent value, strength and potential to overcome the limits that we often unconsciously impose on ourselves.

Connect: To break down the distinctions that separate us from the essence of our peers and detract from our collective well being.

Adapt/Replicate: To start with those things that are already working and enable learning through exposure to good practices within their local context.

“What are the deficiencies in capacity?”

WB

E.g. Best practices are determined by UPs and policy reform is proposed by the peer-to-peer collectives of UPs (not by support partners).

“What has worked!”

“What capacities do we already have?”
