HCD Approach with government bodies to design digital platform for Pest Control Management.

HCD Approach with government bodies to design digital platform for Pest Control Management.

01  Situation

CABI’s aim was to deeply understand the needs and challenges of users (local authorities) and then collaboratively develop effective solutions to preventing pests coming into Ghana.

02  Assignment

Facilitate a HCD apprach with various government bodies and universities in Ghana in order to design a systemic solution to keeping pest from entering Ghana.

03  Approach

Initiating with HCD training by Proportion, we conducted design research among various public and private stakeholders in Ghana. We shared our research insights at a public event to validate insights, get additional inputs and to engage a wider group of stakeholders in the process. The project culminated in a one week design sprint with various government bodies and universities in Ghana, producing tested low-fidelity prototypes, documented in a report to enhance practical pest management innovation.

04  Result

1) A prototype Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was developed, outlining shared objectives, roles, and responsibilities among partners. 2) A prototype of an online platform was designed to address the practical aspects of working together. Credentials: HCD consultant on this project were Ahmed Saalim Iddrisu and Thomas Schuurmans
