Outcome
In Summer 2024, I partnered with GRID Impact and the Gates Foundation’s Nigeria Country Office (NCO) to design and facilitate a cross-team gathering focused on strengthening collaboration between the NCO and Program Strategy Teams (PSTs).
The purpose of this convening was to identify and leverage opportunities for greater synergy across teams - with the aim of amplifying the Foundation’s impact in Nigeria.
Through a blend of design thinking, participatory methods, creative facilitation, and intentional play, the gathering created space for new connections, deepened relationships, and alignment around a shared vision for collaboration. It culminated in a set of concrete actions and commitments to initiate and strengthen cross-team partnerships.
