		<description><![CDATA[If you think you’ve come up with an idea for a purpose-led solution to our country’s many social and economic issues, now’s your chance to enter the RE:SOLVE Challenge. You could be chosen to form part of a six-month design thinking programme and win your share of R100 000 in grant funding to develop your concept further. But hurry, entries close on 31 October 2021. RE:SOLVE is funded by the City of Cape Town, and organised by the Craft and Design Institute (CDI), a non-profit company with 20 years of success in developing creative people, small businesses and the craft and design sector in South Africa. RE:SOLVE’s aim is to inspire the entrepreneurial spirit of individuals and teams to co-create bold solutions, with a focus on access to economic opportunities, quality healthcare, food security, and water and sanitation. “The RE:SOLVE Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to join in a facilitated process that will help South African innovators take their ideas from concept to more of a reality,” says Erica Elk, Group CEO of the CDI. “We are looking particularly for solutions that can improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our society. It’s a challenge not just for designers, but [...]]]></description>

There are many lessons for South Africa to learn from the last two years. Lessons that can be used to improve the local healthcare system – these were brought to the forefront at the recent #cocreateDESIGN FESTIVAL 2021, hosted by the Craft and Design Institute in partnership with the Mission Network of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in SA. Many of these learnings were surfaced thanks to the uncharted territory that responses to the pandemic needed to navigate. For example, technology was leveraged appropriately to put people and patients at the centre of the solution.
