This issue of Frontiers of Sanitation describes four Rapid Action Learning approaches that have been developed and tested in India by IDS and partners to support the Swachh Bharat Mission – Gramin, and encourages others to use them, to innovate other approaches, and to share their experiences.
The four approaches are the unofficial visit, immersive research, rapid action learning (RAL) workshops and rapid topic explorations. These demonstrate the practical rigour of learning, which is timely, relevant and actionable.
