Co-design is seen as crucial for designing solutions for resource-constrained people living
in developing countries. To best understand their needs, user engagement and co-design
strategies need to first be developed. In this Design Practice Brief, a process of co-design
was created and used to understand ways telecommunication engineers could engage with
rural communities in Uganda. It reports and reflects on (i) the experience of co-designing
with nondesigners and (ii) creating a co-design structure and developing co-design methods …
