Inspiration

Partner local researchers and changemakers

Sometimes solutions are designed for developing countries but are not accepted by the governments or populace, due to a lack of involvement of her local population in the design process. Some may even find it insulting to have others spoonfeed change to their countries.
Partners have to be found to ease the process of product development as well as market entry. This is especially so in India, which increasingly doesnt seem to favour dependence on foreign assistance.

Very true. The outputs of this Open Ideo challenge would not be final solutions, but instead a resource for local design & adaptation.
