ABOUT OUR CASE STUDIES
More Than a Success Story
A PKO case study looks closely at a specific person, group, school, community, intervention or implementation experience. Unlike a short success story, it should explain the starting situation, what PKO and its partners did, what evidence shows, what challenges remained and what can be learned from the experience. Case studies do not need to show perfect results. A useful case study may document progress, limitations, unexpected results or lessons that can improve future programming.
