Applications are now open for three global Action Learning cycles in 2026
Application closed on April 3rd 2026
Youth-led organisations, funders, INGOs, researchers, and partners are navigating a rapidly changing landscape shaped by funding uncertainty, climate disruption, and rising opposition to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
Through YIELD Hub’s Action Learning Groups, we convene diverse actors to reflect honestly, share lived strategies, and take collective action to strengthen resilience, equity, and sustainable impact.
We use action learning to develop new and creative ways for adolescents and youth to get involved in SRHR. Action learning processes can help develop leaders, build teams, solve problems, and transform institutions and processes.

FAQs
How are Action Learning Group sessions organised?
Action Learning sessions are held online (Zoom) monthly, occasionally twice a month, with each session lasting 90 minutes. These sessions follow a structured format grounded in the Action Learning approach. Participants maintain a learning diary to document real-time reflections, track their progress, and strengthen collaboration with fellow group members.
What does the YIELD Hub offer & how does it work?
We offer a unique space and approach for committed stakeholders to collaborate, learn, share, and align on building transformational change in the AYSRHR space. Through participation in action learning processes,stakeholders have the opportunity to engage in real-time applied problem solving, networking, and partnerships alongside people who are also committed to improving AYSRHR.
Does the YIELD Hub provide grant funding?
No. The Hub does not provide grant funding. However, the outcome of an action learning cycle may lead to external funding opportunities within the broader AYSRHR space.
How are Action Learning Groups different from a community of practice?
We focus on aligning stakeholders to advance solutions that systematically improve youth engagement and youth partnership in AYSRHR. By facilitating action learning processes, the YIELD Hub will support the generation of new insights and experiences that contribute to improved youth partnership in AYSRHR.
Can I participate in an Action Learning Group as an individual?
Action learning groups are designed for institutional representatives. However, individuals who work outside of an institutional role and demonstrably work to change institutional practices are welcome to join. Anyone interested in following the insights resulting from the action learning groups can sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media.
Do Action Learning Group members need to commit to public accountability?
Public commitment is not a prerequisite to participating in the c action learning groups. However, our core group members strive to publicly commit to implementing the output of the action learning design phase and capturing their results for the action learning group and the broader field.
