Hi Yosem Here is some stuff done by CGAP at the world bank applying HCD to financial inclusion problems. http://www.cgap.org/blog/so%E2%80%A6what-does-hcd-mean-financial-inclusion https://www.cgap.org/blog/series/human-centered-design-smallholder-families https://www.cgap.org/news/cgap-using-hcd-develop-digital-financial-services-... http://www.cgap.org/publications/what-human-centered-design-means-financial-... My sense is (from the more realistic people who work there) that despite some publications like the ones above touting the potential of HCD they actually felt it failed more often than not because it came up with interesting product insights but didn't achieve the organizational and architectural/systemic change needed to implement them.

I'm wondering if any of you could point me towards ethnographic analyses or cases studies (articles. books, grey lit) of development or humanitarian projects that use(d) design principles?

I'm planning to teach an undergraduate-level course in environmental anthropology and want introduce some design principles/ processes.

Ideally I'd like to include readings that point towards the benefits of this kind of approach, as well as some that reflect practical or theoretical problems (or failures).

Thank you!

Best, Misha
