Deliverables:
• Proposal of Design Sprint Approach (including the types of participants to be involved)
• Working in collaboration with the Girl Effect Team, plan and facilitate a Design Sprint workshop spanning no longer than 5 days to present research findings, define the problem, brainstorm prototype concepts, prioritise ideas and approaches
