THE CHALLENGEFrom technical material
From technical material
to everyday learning.
The programme needed to communicate financial literacy, business planning, responsible borrowing and digital skills to people with very different learning needs.
My assignment was to review and restructure existing technical resources into practical materials that trainers could deliver confidently and women could engage with, including participants with limited literacy or numeracy.
THE LEARNING ARCHITECTURETwo pathways.
Two pathways.
One connected system.
The design separated training for programme facilitators from shorter sessions for community groups, while keeping the technical messages consistent.

THE VALUE OF THE WORKMake learning
Make learning
possible in practice.
The result was a coordinated set of training and communication resources that connected technical requirements with accessible, participatory teaching methods.
The materials underwent iterative technical review and were submitted at consultancy close-out. Field testing was outside the assignment scope, so this case study makes no claims about downstream learning or livelihood outcomes.
