Success Story: Adapting to Virtual Communications: Pursuing Ideas in New Ways  

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the USAID Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Activity, felt disrupted about conducting in-person training sessions and meetings, and tumbled into a world of virtual communications. Times of disruption, however, can also trigger innovation. USAID activated an integral component of its Activity; collaborating, learning, and adapting through utilizing various virtual platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, to connect with its implementing partners, local institutions working in monitoring and evaluation, and the Government of Jordan to ensure USAID’s activities in Jordan achieve their intended results, yet maintaining a safe distance and sparing our partners’ health and safety.
