First of all, I am happy to notice that we are finally consentrating on the actual outcome of our project, to "phase I".
So after our tutorial meeting and visit in NSN's SEC, it's now even more sure that the DESIGN is the key issue; how innovative is our end product and what can be gained by it. On the other hand, we must remember that our "customer" is NSN, not an NGO... So our project differs somewhat from those by Winrock etc.
I hope we are able to present the uniques of our project also in tomorrows workshop. Because in order to achieve all those goals defined in previous writing, we really have to be able to present our project right and ask right questions from our audience...

It’s good to note that the idea to concentrate on phase one of the project is in fact the COMBINED RESULT OF THE GROUP’S MEETING WITH ULLA & LIONEL (WHERE WE WERE ADVISED TO SPLIT IT INTO 2 PHASES) AND OF COURSE THE NSN SEC VISIT.
ReplyDeleteThat makes all of us happy.
(By the way, looking back at your blog of Feb 04, it’s clear that there was a tendency to focus on solutions rather than design!).
And finally, the idea behind citing the Winrock case was NOT to over emphasize on solutions (than on design work), but rather to indicate the host of options that can be envisaged for inclusion with the design work and be proposed as a sustainable development package.
