Core Principles and ESLA Loopers

These core principles explain what we believe & why we are different…


1

Global challenges are complex, dynamic, unpredictable, and contested. Solving them requires new and different approaches.

3

This evidence is best interpreted by the individuals and organizations who are closest to the change process, and who hold deepest experience and insights.

5

By embracing and valuing different ways of knowing we can structurally shift historic power imbalances, broadening meaningful participation to inform action and change.

2

Participatory and technology-enabled mixed-methods – through methodological bricolage – can generate robust, representative, and useful evidence of relative contribution and wider systems signals.

4

New skills are required in designing collaborative sense-making platforms and facilitating processes that convene diverse groups to share experience, surface insights, and build consensus on strategy and action.

6

Future success lies in valuing the quality of the process as much as the end product – creating sustainable and structural ESLA Loops capacity and organisational culture.
