The huge increase in demand and supply of learning in the last three years calls for the data for development community to reflect on the preferences of its audience.

This study aims to explore how learners engage with learning activities, and what key challenges and barriers they face. 

We hope the insights support those designing learning activities or platforms for data for development learning audiences to ensure that they are fit for purpose. Digital learning and education expanded during and after the pandemic; this study pays special attention to it.
