Place: Fingo´s Amazon-training room, 6th floor Elimäenkatu 25-27 Helsinki, Finland The space is accessible. Last day of registration: Friday the 28th This workshop uncovers the many ways in which innovations and innovation system development policies have become crucial to development policy formation. We will especially discuss the possible role NGOs could have in these dynamics. As new instruments, actors and tools emerge in development cooperation, the role of innovation in the societal development of developing countries needs to be fully addressed?. This workshop delves into subjects as diverse as the changing development policies between the Global North and South, the role of innovation in international aid and development policies, the role of public, private and non-governmental sectors, universities and other development actors, including the potential for inclusive innovation in local communities. In particular, the workshop addresses the following questions: Who benefits from innovation-focused development policies, and if and how practical innovation instruments include the global poor. The trainer Lauri Hooli is a Senior Lecturer from department of Geography and Geology, University of Turku. He has a PhD in Geography, has been researching innovation-focused development co-operation over a decade, and has lived several years in many countries around Southern Africa. He is an author of a recently published book Jauhiainen, J.S. & L. Hooli (2019): Innovation for Development in Africa, Routledge, New York. This training is meant for NGO employees or volunteers interested in innovation and development. The training will be held in English.
