Learning Into Action
AMEA has supported 9 countries to develop BDS Roadmaps. They are the locally driven, locally owned strategies for improving the BDS Market. The actions aim to improve the supply and demand of BDS, enabling the scaling up of proven approaches. Learning what is working and what is not is at the heart of these Roadmaps. This guides each Country platform to decide what to act upon. This is Learning into Action in practice. Find out more below and contribute to this essential work.
