Research and Innovation Systems for Africa (RISA) is a program funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) that aims to strengthen African research and innovation ecosystems. The ATU-RISA Project was delivered in a series of in-person bootcamps, online workshops and field research tasks. Each bootcamp was designed to help students take leadership of the challenge their respective teams chose to work on and drive the innovation process through a \u201clearning by doing approach.\u201d Guided by a specifically designed Design Thinking Curriculum, the students were introduced to design thinking concepts and supported to apply them to their projects. The problem space and solution space formed the basis of the bootcamp structure and presented distinct tasks to be accomplished.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The ATU-RISA Project aims to bridge the gap between research and development in the health sector while facilitating the development of commercially viable innovations for Ghana\u2019s health sector. The differentiator of this project is the adoption of the Design Thinking Methodology for innovation. The design thinking methodology enables innovators to develop user-centric solutions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
