Challenge
The Moremi Initiative for Women’s Leadership in Africa engaged Kabod Group to train 25 selected participants as the 2023 MILEAD Fellows in design thinking. The aim was to enhance their capacity to solve complex challenges while harnessing social innovation and creativity through structured design thinking processes.

Approach
Our training was guided by two fundamental questions: “What must we do to ensure participants understand?” and “How can they apply their knowledge to achieve positive outcomes?” This focus on understanding laid the groundwork for an engaging training experience. Participants engaged in dynamic group activities that allowed them to apply design thinking in real-world contexts, supported by case studies and examples of successful initiatives.

Impact
The training was a resounding success, with all 25 participants effectively utilizing the knowledge gained to approach challenges with a design-thinking mindset.

Participant Feedback
Doris George Kiwelu, a participant in the 2023 MILEAD Fellowship, shared, “The individual assignments and works made me think more and apply the delivered knowledge.”
