Zombie Innovations or True Development
Are some innovations born dead, or can and do innovations truly contribute to development? Can innovation deliver cost-effective, efficient results for children in development- if so how? How are innovations being utilized in the development world - and by whom? What is Finland’s role and contribution to innovation in development co-operation? What is the future of innovation in development? Or will they be “zombied” out?

******************************************************
UNICEF Finland and Aalto University launched a pilot project in fall 2012 to support child-friendly schools in Uganda. Students of Aalto University and Makerere University collaboratively designed an innovative, cost-effective latrine design and a community-owned waste management model that will improve access to sanitation and promote hygiene for girls and boys in rural schools.
