Today marked the end of the 2017 International Development Planning Studio, where students presented the international development project proposals they crafted throughout the semester. This year, the proposals focused on projects in Ghana, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Nepal, and South Africa. The titles of the projects were as follows:
- Increasing Small-Scale Crop Production in the Nandom District, Ghana
- After School Bilingual Cultural Program in the Province of Urubamba, Cusco, Peru
- Vocational Training for Haitians in the Dominican Republic
- Strengthening Outreach Potential of Agricultural Extension (SOPAE) in Mid-Western Nepal
- USAID Proposal: Creating Self-Help Groups in South Africa to Aid Rural Women Empowerment
I’d like to thank Sophie Wenzel, James Foreman, John Lipsey, and Daniel Sumner for serving on the proposal review panel and for sharing their expertise with the students during the semester.
