This discussion will focus on a growing body of tools and tactics that practitioners are employing to manage what can be a tricky landscape of donor needs, organizational expectations, as well as emerging best practices of systems thinking approaches that demand effective adaptation. Expect to hear about a number of ways in which projects and clients have succeeded in fostering improved adaptive capacity, which will seed further discussion at the Symposium in April and lead to a robust set of recommendations and tools available to the industry.

The session will cover the following topics:

• Adapting indicators and targets
• Adapting procurements and partnerships
• Adapting teams

The session will be facilitated by Liz Eckert, RTI International, and Mike Field, EcoVentures International. They will be joined by Ken Smarzik, of USAID/Haiti's Leveraging Value Chain Enhancement (LEVE) project, amongst others, to contextualize the discussion with on-the-ground insights and strategies.
