CULTURE

Pilot, improve, scale

Where a prototype becomes a tool. Partners take ownership, pilot it, and plan how it lasts. SBH and FOREWARN follow up and support scale-up.

WhenTo be announced

[ Flowchart ]

Pilot. Improve. Scale.

The hackathon does not end at the awards. This stage exists so that a prototype becomes a tool somebody uses.

  1. Partner01

    A partner takes ownership

    Government and humanitarian partners.

  2. Pilot02

    Tool developed and piloted

    Co-developed with the team.

  3. Improve03

    Lessons fed back in

    Follow-up, monitoring and evaluation.

  4. Scale04

    Sustainability and scale-up

    A plan for how the tool lasts.

The loop repeats until the tool is adopted

[ Three pillars ]

What keeps a tool alive

Ownership

Partners own and pilot. Government and humanitarian partners take ownership of the tools they need.

Fellowships

Partners may offer six-month fellowships or internships to develop and pilot promising tools. These depend on partner interest and the fit of the solution, so they are not limited to the top-ranked teams.

Follow-up

SBH and FOREWARN follow up, monitor and support scale-up, and record the lessons learned.

Pilot tracker opens after the awards

Once partners take ownership of tools, their progress from pilot to scale is tracked here.
