As a core human capability, creative product design has the capacity to change the physical environment by envisioning, planning and executing solutions to real-world problems that can generate wealth and provide employment (IDSA 2015). Through the development of dedicated methods/tools, design activity has reached high levels of sophistication in the developed world, where outcomes have a major impact on quality of life embodied in the functionality of manufactured products and contribution to wealth generation/employment through a supply chain economy (Proximity Design, 2014). However, the economic and social benefits of such approaches remain problematic in ODA recipient countries due to a lack of appropriate training and education in opportunities and nature of the creative process.This project integrates the distinctive and emerging methods of arts and humanities research in creative product design to share, discuss, co-create and envisage ways in which the discipline can contribute to key areas of the UN2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development i.e. "emerging creative economies, creative practices.....and building on local crafts, products, expertise and experience" (United Nations 2015). The ultimate outcome is to provide employment to tackle poverty as identified in the UK Government Aid Strategy 9 (Department for International Development, 2015). The proposal exploits the PI and CI's expertise in the use of design to support product development for both developed and developing economies by facilitating the identification and application of approaches that are appropriate for ODA recipient countries. It builds on a recent PhD undertaken by the CI who has direct, first-hand experience of the key issues through field work in Myanmar. The project outcomes will be achieved via a six phase network-driven approach that promotes shared learning and dissemination of outcomes:Phase 1 - Establish latest thinking in the use of design-based approaches for creative product design in the four levels of ODA recipient country Phase 2 - Collate case study examples of creative product design undertaken in the four levels of ODA recipient country that effectively address opportunities/challengesPhase 3 - Deliver a UK networking event to explore the challenges and opportunities for creative product development in ODA recipient countries through the presentation/discussion of the Phase 1 case studies; generation of an approach for best practice; exploration/testing of this through a co-design task for a problem/issue/opportunity identified for each of the ODA recipient country (four design briefs); identify a consensus-driven approach for roll-out to all ODA recipient countriesPhase 4 - Translate the consensus-driven approach and case studies/designed outcomes into an interactive website, video and booklet for dissemination at a launch event in each of the four levels of ODA recipient country plus distribution to key representatives (academic/government/business) in all 146 ODA recipient countriesPhase 5 - Reflect on all project activities and identify opportunities to further extend the work through further applications for funding The outcomes from the project will be embodied in an interactive website and printed booklet that has relevance for anyone wishing to use creative product design in ODA recipient countries to address problems/issues/opportunities and create employment (direct/indirect) that will ultimately contribute to the alleviation of poverty as identified in the UN2030 Agenda. The outcomes from the network will be embodied in the distributed resources, with the interactive website continuing to develop beyond the six month project through the uploading of case studies that demonstrate the successful application of the identified approaches and edited/maintained on a voluntary basis by the PI/CI.

作为人类的核心能力，创意产品设计有能力通过设想、规划和执行解决现实世界问题的方案来改变物理环境，从而创造财富和提供就业机会（IDSA 2015）。通过开发专门的方法/工具，设计活动在发达国家已经达到了高度的复杂程度，其结果对生活质量产生重大影响，体现在制造产品的功能中，并通过供应链经济为财富创造/就业做出贡献（Proximity design, 2014）。但是，由于缺乏关于创造过程的机会和性质的适当培训和教育，这种办法的经济和社会效益在官方发展援助受援国仍然存在问题。该项目将艺术和人文学科独特的新兴研究方法整合到创意产品设计中，以分享、讨论、共同创造和设想该学科如何为联合国2030年可持续发展议程的关键领域做出贡献。"新兴创意经济，创意实践.....并以当地工艺、产品、专业知识和经验为基础”（联合国，2015年）。最终的结果是提供就业，以解决英国政府援助战略9中确定的贫困问题（国际发展部，2015年）。该提案利用项目总监和项目总监在利用设计支持发达经济体和发展中经济体产品开发方面的专门知识，促进确定和应用适合官方发展援助受援国的方法。它建立在CI最近获得的博士学位的基础上，CI通过在缅甸的实地工作对关键问题有直接的第一手经验。项目结果将通过六个阶段但,网络驱动下的实现方法,促进共同学习和传播的结果:第一阶段——建立最新思维的使用方法设计创意产品设计的四个级别的官方发展援助接受国阶段2 -整理案例研究创意产品设计的例子进行官方发展援助接受国的四层,有效地解决机会/ challengesPhase 3 -英国交流活动通过介绍/讨论第一阶段的案例研究，探讨在官方发展援助受援国进行创造性产品开发的挑战和机遇；生成最佳实践方法；通过为每个官方发展援助受援国确定一个问题/问题/机会的共同设计任务来探索/测试这一点（四份设计简报）；确定在所有官方发展援助受援国推广的共识驱动方法第四阶段-将共识驱动方法和案例研究/设计成果转化为互动网站；视频和小册子在发射事件传播的四个级别的官方发展援助接受国+分配关键代表(学术/政府/企业)在146年官方发展援助接受者countriesPhase 5 -反思所有项目活动和识别机会进一步扩展的工作通过进一步申请资助项目的结果将体现在一个交互式网站,打印小册子,对任何人都希望使用创造性的相关性在官方发展援助受援国进行产品设计，以解决问题/问题/机会并创造就业（直接/间接），最终有助于联合国2030年议程中确定的减轻贫困。网络的成果将体现在分配的资源中，互动网站将在六个月的项目结束后继续发展，通过上传案例研究，展示已确定的方法的成功应用，并由PI/CI在自愿的基础上编辑/维护。
