This resource includes articles, worksheets, templates, and other materials to support community leaders.  Similarly, USAID’s Guide on Supporting Communities of Practice provides tools to initiate and host CoPs for peer learning, sharing, and action, adaptable to both in-person and online contexts.

Earlier this year, we published a concise CoP Engagement Planning Guide that draws on some of the best-known practices to offer a practical and actionable framework for online communities. 

The guide outlines clear strategies for effective CoP planning and management within the development sector. By implementing these strategies, organizations, projects, and networks can significantly enhance the effectiveness of their CoPs, fostering more meaningful interactions and driving successful outcomes.
