Abstract

This paper identifies the value and challenges in introducing rapid
prototyping of policy to design non-expert and expert groups by analysing an online
workshop series that was conducted with early-career professionals, policy makers,
and design researchers. The COVID-19 pandemic evidenced, even more, the need for
situated policies in the area of health as global health policies were ineffective in
addressing livelihood diversity, particularly of underserved communities. Therefore,
the untapped potential of rapid prototyping for policy making in the area of global
health is explored. We particularly analyse the creativity of the different groups who
joined the workshop series and point out implications for the rapid prototype of
situated global health policies in international low-resourceful settings.
