| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Network Facilitation/Design - Globally, more and more people appreciate that networks offer unmatched value in tackling development challenges. But figuring out how to organize and manage a network presents a challenge in itself. For those who want to start a new network, GKI helps network organizers (researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, institutions) figure out what they want to achieve, and how to design a network to meet those goals. We also help existing networks identify how they can improve their performance. Whether designing a one-day workshop or a multi-year network strategy, our facilitation and design practice is focused on the same goal: fueling networks success. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | Soc Innovation Lab + LINK - Whether aimed at innovating in education, agriculture, health, or another sector, GKIs Social Innovation Lab provides a tailored process to unite previously unlinked fields, thinkers, and ideas to deliver solutions. GKIs Lab program pulls from a toolbox that includes strategy development, operational planning, and human centered design. GKIs Lab facilitates collaborative innovation at three critical stages: determining a problem to solve, creating and testing solutions to a complex problem, and implementing solutions. Chief among its strengths, GKIs Lab uses the collective power of experts and end-users to understand problems from a range of perspectives before designing solutions. Doing so, it charts a bold course: to change the trajectory of development by unleashing collaborative innovation. Our flagship network-formation program LINK (The Learning and Innovation Network for Knowledge and Solutions) has been dubbed one of the top 100 Social Innovations for the next Century), and showcases how GKIs Social Innovation Lab approach migrates participants from problems to solutions that are activated through purpose-driven networks.

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 0 | Capacity Building/Training - GKI believes that the skills needed to innovate collaboratively are learnable, yet often not addressed in typical training settings. Through our Collaborative Innovation Capacity Building program, GKI addresses this gap. We enable individuals and organizations to build critical skills and apply tools to infuse effective collaboration at every stage of innovation, from idea to impact. We do this through interactive workshops, trainings, and coaching. We serve a multi-sectoral audience spanning entrepreneurs, nonprofits, private sector companies, researchers, and policymakers. Since 2009, we have worked with individuals, institutions, and networks in more than 60 countries, across the innovation continuum from sensing needs, to creating high-impact solutions, to accelerating impact. Featured initiatives:>Training the Academy for Global Engagement: A Partnership with Michigan State University for Agriculture and Engineering Fellows>Designing the Uganda National Council for Science & Technology Entrepreneur Training Program>Malaysian Researcher and Community Collaborative Problem Solving Training>UNESCO-Supported Training of Trainers: A Training Partnership with Tanzania-Based Nelson Mandela Africa Institute of Science and Technology |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 1 | Policy & Strategy - GKI recognizes strong enabling environments, inclusive of national policies and investment strategies, are needed to scale innovative development solutions. GKI works with governments, donor organizations, and other key stakeholders to strengthen science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy and strategy in developing countries. Our goal is to promote enabling environments in which creativity, collaboration, and innovation thrive. Our wide range of support includes working with national governments to conduct external reviews of existing STI policies and advise officials on pro-innovation policy agendas and implementation strategies. In other instances, we help social sector organizations as well, such as The Rockefeller Foundation, develop strategies to find intervention opportunities aimed at improving the lives of poor and vulnerable people. FEATURED INITIATIVES: >Reviewing the Existing STI Policy for Rwanda>Articulating the 5-year Implementation Strategy for Rwandas new National Council on Science & Technology headed by the Prime Minister>Advising USAID on Design of a New Science & Technology Office (including writing a White Paper on Policy Considerations, etc.) |
