Built around field trips to diverse locations around London, the course is framed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Doughnut Economics. We apply the Ikigai concept as a tool for personal development to connect the learning from the course to action in practice.
We produced a one-minute animation with a snapshot of our thinking on two broad topics: truth and power. Winning 3rd place in the video contest at the 2018 conference of the American Evaluation Association, it explores briefly how data and information in evaluations can be transformed into power and action on the results. However, what speaking truth to power means can have a myriad of explanations, depending on who you ask and how you ask.
Together with Laura Somoggi, Womanity Co-CEO, we co-designed the video-series brought it to life. We had seed funding from the Oasis Foundation and The Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) in-kind support.
We designed the business case for BRILHO – Energy Africa Mozambique renewable off-grid energy programme [£34 m / 5-year]. We innovated in the facilitation of the workshops by bringing the World Café methodology to the country for the first time.
We pioneered a radically participatory evaluation to determine the impact the Business Brains programme was having on girls and their communities. Using a radical peer-based and strengths-focused methodology we went beyond what is normally understood as a participatory evaluation. We engaged all 11 local staff during all stages of the evaluation.
We developed an asynchronous outcome map framework and tools to collect feedback via velfies (video selfies), where participants of training programmes answer a set of questions that are sent in advance. The end product is a 10-minute video combining all the 12 participants’ feedback from five countries.
To evaluate the 1st Global Humanitarian partnership between the Laudes Foundation (former C&A Foundation), C&A and Save the Childre we pioneered the Whole Person Approach (WPA) in an evaluation context.
