The South to South Lab is a co-creation space of Making All Voices Count which will explore & strengthen interaction between citizens & government.
The Lab is aimed at capacity development for partners and other interested actors and will consist of networking through sharing lessons, mentoring, placing fellows and acting as the base of operations for tech hub partnerships.
The Lab will connect organisations within the Global South and beyond, enabling direct learning between actors facing similar challenges.
As South to South Lab Manager Declan Ottaro explains:
Historically, much support for socially-focused projects has come from the Global North. The South to South Lab focuses on sharing learning across the globe, collecting experiences of innovators in order to build an evidence base as to what works and why and through this, we aim for more effective projects to improve governance.
Matthew Farmer's insight:
To really make significant changes in Africa, we may all be required to embrace a paradigm-shift!
