The Design Challenge
Reimagining the ways family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) professionals access and use evidence and best practices to optimize FP/RH programs.
Regional Co-creation Design Thinking Workshops
Developing solutions to meet family planning and reproductive health professionals’ information needs
Design Thinking is a multi-disciplinary, human-centered creative problem-solving process that emphasizes perspective-taking, prototyping, and testing.

Dive into the challenge
Based on data and learnings that emerged from the Empathize phase, participants refocus and organize their challenges and opportunities in KM.
Participants create journey maps to better understand steps and barriers in the knowledge management (KM) process for FP/RH professionals, noting any gender differences.

Participants develop rough draft prototypes (tangible models) for the highest-priority solutions.
TEST

Participants test the prototypes among each other to solicit feedback and determine which phase of the process they need to loop back to in order to refine their solution.
Research shows that reviewers are more likely to give honest feedback on a rough draft prototype (as opposed to a prototype that is seemingly complete) because they believe that their feedback will have more impact on the final version.
