The DEPP Learning Agenda, funded by a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) cooperative agreement, includes five core themes and fifteen associated questions. It has been developed to test the DEPP Global Theory of Change through a combination of research, evaluations, pilot programs, and ongoing democratic development interventions worldwide. 

CEPPS partners welcome you to join us to learn more about the DEPP Learning Agenda and validate the selected themes/questions. CEPPS will be hosting virtual opening and closing ceremonies, panel discussion webinars, and interactive virtual validation workshops by theme.

Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and French will be provided for all panel discussion webinars and will be provided online for the opening and closing sessions.
