Technical learning visits

The technical learning visits bring representatives from KIX LAC partner countries to another country in the region to experience first-hand the implementation of a program/policy that they wish to learn from. As a result of this experience, it is expected to acquire new knowledge, tools and implementation perspectives, as well as to learn about the different implementation possibilities, their benefits and costs, and to build networks with people and organizations with similar challenges. Some of the activities that correspond to the learning trips are discussion sessions to plan and define the route to follow, field visits, interviews with the implementing team/project managers/decision-makers of the visiting country, and the preparation of an action plan as a follow-up to define and internalize what has been learned, among others.
