WPI’s Ghana Project Center is developing smart villages that prioritize community needs through generative justice, empowerment, and self-sufficiency. The objective of this project was to create a formal design process for project teams using co-design principles, and to apply a continuous improvement approach to evaluate the process with respect to generative justice goals. Using process and workflow analysis tools, the smart village design process used by two project teams was analyzed to define an improved co-design process.
