3 THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO

SHARE WITH YOU TODAY…

Outcomes of a project commissioned by GIZ’s Sector Project ‘Reducing

Poverty and Inequality as Part of the 2030 Agenda’.

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION CANVAS.

A Scientifically-Rooted Hands-On Tool for Practitioners to Assess & Shape Digital

Innovation.

3 reasons why people might want to use the Pro-Poor Digitalisation

Canvas…

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

THE CANVAS IN A NUTSHELL

1 …to actively design or adapt digital solutions for pro-poor impact (e.g. Innovators/Entrepreneurs).

…to identify and assess existing digital solutions and their pro-poor impact (e.g. Development Actors).

…to ensure the digital transformation’s pro-poor orientation at a structural level (e.g. Policy Makers).

based on…

- a thorough review of academic and non-academic literature

- a structured focus group discussion

- 5 qualitative, semi-structured expert interviews with practitioners

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE

Breaking down the conceptual framework and guiding a three-step

reflection process.

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

THE ACTUAL CANVAS

Providing additional guidance and food for thought.

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

Rationale: brief description ofsub-dimension’s background

Guiding Question: asstated in Canvas

Auxiliary Sub-Question(s):if you want to dig deeper

Assessment:quick evaluation ofpro-poor impact(0-5 points)

Additional Resources:collection of handbooks,guidelines, etc.

THE ‚USER MANUAL‘ PART

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING.

Identification of Potential Pro-Poor Digital Innovations and Evaluation of Selected

Solutions.

Three-step procedure aiming at identifying and evaluating potential

pro-poor solutions.

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

1 Clarifying the mapping strategy: 5 impact mechanisms x 3 maturity levels.

Identifying technological approaches and potential pro-poor solutions based on the review of 16 foresight-studies and reports.

Analysing 5 selected technological approaches and solutions in-depth guided by the Pro-Poor Digitalisation Canvas.

SOLUTION EXAMPLE: BRCK MOJA WIFI

CREATION:

(1) Market Structure, (2) Capacity Building, (3) Data Ownership, (4) Data Security, (5) Accountability

OPPORTUNITY:

(1) Availability, (2) Affordability, (3) Awareness, (4) Abilities, (5) Agency

OVERALL ASSESSMENT:

TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Put Data Security & Net Neutrality First!

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION X.

3 Ways for Putting the Pro-Poor DigitalisationApproach into Practice.

3 overarching learnings for accelerating pro-poor digitalisation.

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

1 Think of technological and social innovation as one.Facilitating structural change is not all about technology.

Focus on missions rather than technologies. Allocate funding towards the challenge, not the solution.

Make innovation a collaborative endeavour. Use the power of both beneficiaries as well as the innovation ecosystem.

#3: BRINGING THE CANVAS ONLINE

PRO-POOR DIGITALISATION MAPPING

SOLUTION EXAMPLE: SAMASOURCE

CREATION:

(1) Market Structure, (2) Capacity Building, (3) Data Ownership, (4) Data Security, (5) Accountability

OPPORTUNITY:

(1) Availability, (2) Affordability, (3) Awareness, (4) Abilities, (5) Agency

OVERALL ASSESSMENT:

TAKE HOME MESSAGE: It’s All About Market Power!

= An online labour market for freelance and short-term jobs (‘gigs’). Organisations contract with

independent workers on a non-permanent basis, rather than

traditionally recruiting full-time employees.
