This approach involves:

• Engaging Programme Staff and Beneficiaries: By actively involving those who will use or benefit from the toolkit, we ensure that their insights, experiences, and feedback shape the toolkit’s final design. This participatory approach fosters ownership and increases the likelihood of successful implementation.

• Testing in Natural Environments: We implement the toolkit in actual operational contexts, replicating the conditions under which it will be used. This ensures that it is both practical and effective in addressing real challenges.

• Identifying Strengths and Gaps: Through pilot testing, we assess the toolkit’s functionality, usability, and relevance. Any issues or inefficiencies are identified and addressed to improve the toolkit before full-scale deployment.

• Iterative Refinement: Based on feedback from the piloting phase, the toolkit is adjusted to enhance its effectiveness and ease of use. This process ensures that the final product is robust, user-friendly, and aligned with the needs of the stakeholders.

By piloting toolkits with this rigorous and inclusive approach, Bodmando helps organizations ensure that their tools are not only fit for purpose but also capable of driving meaningful outcomes in their programs and initiatives.
