Description

Join Humentum and CollaborateUp (a small business that teaches USAID how to co-create) to learn more about USAID’s approach to and expectations around co-creation/co-design for activity design and award. From the mechanisms and processes to how to both collaborate and compete; this course provides a behind-the-scenes look at how USAID approaches co-creation and what that means for your submission. You will learn from co-creation experts who have practical, hands-on experience in designing and executing co-creation/co-design processes for USAID Missions and Operating Units worldwide. Through these experts you will discover how to take advantage of co-creation design opportunities and apply the learnings to your next proposal submission.

What you will learn

  • How USAID defines co-creation/co-design
  • Why USAID believes co-creation is beneficial
  • Where and how co-creation fits into the USAID program cycle, and what mechanisms support co-creation
  • How to take maximum advantage of the co-creation/co-design process to improve your submission
  • Balance participation in a competitive co-creation process with maintaining your firm’s ‘secret sauce’
