The HCD Connect platform and the microgrant
program are designed to catalyze new best practices to help ensure that
people using human-centered design to tackle poverty-related challenges
around the world are receiving direct input on their solutions.
The HCD Connect website and funding for these Microgrants is made possible thanks to a grant from the Agricultural Development group at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
