Why Discovery is Important
Discovery is the first one year phase of an exciting journey for a hyperlocal community to really be led, involve multiple voices and shape what is needed in terms of system change, service delivery and development for that community.
We at RTS could replicate a programme from a different place which would be quicker, however this contradicts our principle of co-design. We could design a programme based on existing available data, however it would not be informed by the perspectives of the whole community. We could place one organisation in charge of delivering the programme, again this approach does not build capacity within the community isn’t sustainable long-term.
This is why we embark on Discovery Projects in all new communities we work with. This position will play a vital role in ensuring the community voice is present in every part of a potential future programme design.
Role Summary
