Against the background of a demand for sharing and discussing lessons learned from programs carried out under the Reconstruction Tender, a diverse group of development cooperation practitioners gathered in The Hague on 26 September 2016. Organized by the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law and Oxfam Novib, the Linking and Learning event aimed to unpack results and learnings of these development projects, with a regional focus on the Great Lakes Region.

This Summary Report outlines the main points of discussion, agreement and divergence, and details a number of recommendations based on the lessons learned shared by participants.
