Evaluate & Refine
Cameroon, Apply
Once prototypes have undergone testing, successful piloting, and thorough monitoring to ensure their viability and effectiveness, they progress to the Apply Phase. In this phase, these refined prototypes transition from the experimental stage to real-world application of the solutions. Here, the focus shifts from theoretical validation to practical implementation, marking a significant step toward achieving the desired goals and outcomes of the project.

What can we do to assess and improve our work?
By the end of this step, you will know what is working and what adjustments you need to make before scaling the intervention with partners.
How to conduct this step and achieve its main objectives:
Evaluate Impact
Appreciating the success of your solution hinges on a thorough evaluation. Scrutinizing the tangible results and the overarching impact of your solution not only provides insight into its efficacy but also equips you with a narrative to inspire and inform others about your journey.
