Empowering Communities for the Right to Grow
The ACF Right2Grow program in Bangladesh aims to ensure every child under five years old is well-nourished and able to reach their full potential. Recognizing learning as a key driver for change, the program follows the principle:
“We learn to improve our impact and the way we work.”
Knowledge Management Strategy
ACF Bangladesh Mission has created a comprehensive knowledge management strategy that captures best practices, success stories, programmatic knowledge, and insights from the Right2Grow program. This strategy enhances the program’s effectiveness and long-term impact.
The Success Catalogue
The Success Catalogue compiles structured, ready-to-use programmatic impacts by highlighting successful approaches and initiatives. It acts as a knowledge repository, documenting impactful stories from the implementation and scaling-up of the Right2Grow program.
This resource is essential for bridging theory and practice, allowing practitioners to apply knowledge to real-world challenges. By engaging with these case-based stories, stakeholders can improve critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
Additionally, this methodology deepens the understanding of effective strategies, strengthens practical competence, and supports the sustainability of positive outcomes within the Right2Grow program.
Data Collection for the Catalogue
- Real-world experiences
- Interviews
- Observations
- Documented reports
These were systematically collected and analyzed from the Right2Grow program in the Barguna district of Bangladesh to develop the Success Catalogue.
