Ep 05: Adapt's Team on: Adaptive Programming for Colombia’s peace process

Stephen Gray is the executive director and co-founder of Adapt Peacebuilding, and Ángela María Báez- Silvia Arias is Adapt’s program development manager in Colombia. Both are currently based in Colombia and involved in adaptive programming – an approach that challenges the status quo of linear planning models by proposing that development planning should be adaptive to changes in the political and socio-economic operating environment. As a peace-building organisation focusing on systems thinking and complexity approaches, Adapt has recently been working with a governmental organisation in Colombia that was created under the umbrella of the Colombian Peace Accords of 2016. In this podcast, Stephen and Ángela share their learning of the past six months, in which Adapt has provided technical support to assist with the integration of the adaptive approach.
