To address these assessment outcomes, our competence center is now in contact with the Akademie für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (#AIZ) about expanding the learning catalogue regarding innovation.

Tools and space to work in an agile way are needed for #innovation. Our aspiration to collaborate more with partners requires co-creation and facilitation tools.
