HCD Toolkit: An open source approach

Human-Centered Design (HCD) is not a new approach to solving design problems. In fact, organizations have been using it for years to understand demographics and create innovative design solutions.

Last year, IDEO teamed up with non-profit groups ICRW and Heifer International to develop a toolkit to help NGO’s and sustainable enterprises work with impoverished communities. Funded in part by IDE and a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this toolkit uses a common language around new tools and techniques to assist organizations in the development of new solutions for difficult challenges in the world. Best of all, this information is available open source and free for download.
