Practitioner Network Learning Framework: The framework proposes an underlying theory of change

for how learning in networks contributes to in-country reforms. Each of these steps in the process creates a

certain type of value for network members and stakeholders, which precipitates behavioral change and

reforms. For instance:

o Step 1 - Network members find value in engaging in activities such as conferences, peer reviews

and attachments, workshops and training with other network members who share similar concerns

(immediate value)

o Step 2 – Network members produce insights, resolutions, action plans, new relationships, and

resources which could be helpful to them and others in the future (potential value)

o Step 3 – These resolutions, plans, relationships and insights might inspire, inform or motivate

members to change the way they do things in their work (applied value)

o Step 4 – In turn, the public are better served by increased effectiveness and accountability achieved

through improved practice (realized value); and o Step 5 - In some cases, the way in which parliamentary practice is carried out may be transformed

more broadly (transformative value)

A network member

participates in a network activity

that generates interest

... This participation

creates an insight, strengthens his or

her resolve, or forges a new relationship

Which leads to improvement in PFM oversight

It might even

transform

the way business is done

The member returns home

and does something with this new insight,

inspiration or connection
