GIZ Innovation Fund

▶ We provide room, space and resources to experiment and bring innovative ideas to life ▶ We build capacities in human-centred design and agile methods ▶ We encourage cross-departmental collaboration and the establishment of new external partnerships #innovation #giz

Do you have an idea and contact to GIZ collegues who you can team up with? Talk to them and submit your idea together. Don't know anyone at GIZ? Send us an email at innovationfund@giz.de - tell us your idea or interest area we will try to match you with our internal teams.

In 2023, the team hopes to find a permanent home within GIZ's service portfolio. #ScrollSafe is looking to compile a list of GIZ projects relating to OGBV. Are you a part of, or know of a GIZ project where #ScrollSafe would fit in? Reach out to ScrollSafe@giz.de

The 5th round of the GIZ Innovation Fund is about to open with the Call for Ideas. A good moment, for an update on how last round’s winners are doing.

Can't wait to expand your innovation capacities? As a GIZ employee you can participate in the next round of the GIZ Innovation Fund kicking-off soon! As an external you might be able to partner up with GIZ colleagues. More information will follow soon!

To address these assessment outcomes, our competence center is now in contact with the Akademie für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (#AIZ) about expanding the learning catalogue regarding innovation.

Have you ever found yourself with a good idea but no clue how to turn it into a reality? We assumed, that innovation capacities can still be improved within GIZ and asked 20 GIZ employees to validate this hypothesis. ⬇

Tools and space to work in an agile way are needed for #innovation. Our aspiration to collaborate more with partners requires co-creation and facilitation tools.

Human-centered design as a skill is needed. This skill would help everyone to be aware of users and beneficiaries needs and to react with more flexibility. #HCD #Designthinking
