The Role of Tools for Programmatic Learning: Policy Implications

This case study is part of the Programmatic Learning Instrument’s research trajectory by the Knowledge Platform Security and the Rule of Law with a specific focus on “The role of digital tools for programmatic learning”.

This second case study n our Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law series was developed to address a critical gap in understanding how digital tools can enhance programmatic learning and policymaking within the Security and Rule of Law (SRoL) sector.

Despite the growing availability of digital solutions, their application in this context often falls short due to the sector’s unique challenges, including infrastructural constraints, political sensitivities, and the need for inclusive, cross-level collaboration. By examining the experiences of practitioners working at the policy level, this case study sheds light on how digital tools are currently used, where they succeed or struggle, and what emerging trends offer promise for the future.

The findings aim to provide actionable insights to improve the design, implementation, and use of digital tools, ensuring they not only meet operational demands but also foster strategic learning, inclusivity, and evidence-based decision-making in this critical sector.
