New Blog: 🚀 Unveiling a New Tool to Empower Women in Politics and Leadership! 🌍✨ EnCompass recently led the dissemination event design and delivery of the Women’s Political Participation and Leadership (WPPL) Assessment Framework, a critical resource for USAID. This groundbreaking tool, launched on June 10, 2024, at the National Press Club, is set to revolutionize women’s participation in politics across the globe. Check out the full story on our blog, written by our Communications Manager, Linda Quamar, to learn how we’re fostering gender-inclusive democracy and expanding the pipeline of women leaders in countries like Colombia, Kenya, Nigeria, and more. 🔗https://lnkd.in/esgyYZzN

Embracing Failure as a Learning Opportunity Failure often gets a bad rap, but it's actually a powerful teacher. Harvard Business School Prof. Amy Edmondson’s "Failing Upward" video sheds light on how calculated failure can foster #learning. Inspired by this, our #MEL team recently delivered an engaging virtual training for USAID partners in #ElSalvador. The training focused on using #failure to enhance two key MEL practices: capturing #lessonslearned and documenting success stories. Participants explored concepts, practical examples, and hands-on applications, discovering how to learn from challenges and failures. A standout segment was the high-energy "Stories that Inspire" talk show, which shared eight tips for writing impactful #successstories, emphasizing the hero’s journey and the value of acknowledging failures. The session was a hit, with attendees praising its dynamism and feeling inspired to apply the methods. Kudos to our all-star El Salvador MEL team who continues to innovate with energy and creativity! 👏 👏 w/ Adriana Abreu-Combs, Laura Villegas, Beatriz Flores, Johanna Constanza, Francisco Armando Hernández Quele, Rafael Alfaro
