Learning trajectory development cooperation

With support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the IvBM presented the Award for the Best Learning Moment Development Cooperation with the underlying goal of contributing to greater transparency and entrepreneurship in the sector.. The trajectory included learning processes inside and outside the walls of the Ministry.

One of the winning cases involved the orginazation Text to Change (TTC), which set up an HIV / AIDS education quiz via SMS in Uganda. However, the code 666 assigned by the authorities raised many questions among partners. 666 is the devil's number and the involved (Christian) partners therefore wanted to stop the program immediately. Fortunately, the code could eventually be changed to 777… The example from Congo underlines the evolutionary character of projects, the example from Uganda shows the importance of not only paying attention to technical and external factors. In addition, both submissions showed that lessons were learned quickly and clearly for the future.
