Design for Social Impact Lab

At Design for Social Impact Lab, our purpose is to create a profound social impact by revolutionising the way organisations and individuals approach social change. In the pursuit of social impact, creating inclusive and anti-racist monitoring, evaluation and research and learning is not just an option; it's a necessity. Our approach to research and learning is rebellious and anti-oppressive. We are an online training organization led by a BIPOC woman with more than 14 years in the international development sector, including working for INGOs in humanitarian crises. Our work is rooted in our foundational values of anti-oppression, intersectionality, and justice. We are inspired by a growing design justice movement that seeks to ensure that the design of products, services and spaces is equitable and inclusive, demolishing the barrier between "aid" and "beneficiaries". Our work is guided by 8 core principles - environmental and economic justice, structural change and action, anti-racism and decolonialism, system thinking, intersectionality, co-design, pedagogies of care and solidarity, fostering iterative mutual learning. Through our programs, we teach activists how to integrate these principles across program development, policy and research processes. Our mission is to empower you to use research and program design as a catalyst for social good.
