With international development programs seen as hit and miss exercises and foreign aid failing to create the impact our policies desire the question is why are non-governmental organisations not adopting Agile/SCRUM in mass to design and deliver nontechnical programs that deliver immediate and lasting benefits.
Over the course of 2 years Peace Through Prosperity; a social enterprise has designed, prototyped, deployed an Agile, data driven social transformation program to alleviate poverty amongst the working poor and provide food security to the marginalised and vulnerable in conflict affected regions.
Peace Through Prosperity has achieved phenomenal success by adopting a user driven design approach and a Scrum based implementation framework.

…We discovered that the
challenges have not changed, But
appetite for Change has… Old
Structures no longer deliver the
desired change, thereby creating
a void that is being exploited by
alternative narratives…
