Environmental Communication, Learning and Outreach (ECLO)

USAIDs Environmental Communication, Learning and Outreach (ECO) program began in October 2013.

This program is part of the Bureau of Economic Growth, Education and Environments (E3) ongoing efforts to meet USAID objectives in training, communication, knowledge management and facilitation needs in the Environment and Natural Resources Management (ENRM) sector and Global Climate Change (GCC) issue area.

The two primary ECO program objectives are (1) to provide USAID staff and the broader development community with the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities to design, implement, monitor and evaluate quality programs and (2) develop and enhance communications and information management systems that facilitate knowledge sharing and learning for improved development impact.

ECO builds directly on the lessons learned and activities from the Capitalizing Knowledge, Connecting Communities (CK2C) contract (including the ENRM- Learning Initiative (ENRM-LI)) and the Office of Global Climate Changes Training, Outreach and Communications Task Order (GCC TOC).
