The sustainable livelihoods approach is a way of considering the aims, scope, and order of importance of global development efforts. Tech Tap will look for solutions while concentrating on livelihoods in and around New Orleans that are founded on developing ideas about the significance of forward-looking policies, institutions, practices, and communities. They want to provide technologically advanced methods for inclusive, sustainable development initiatives both locally and globally.
We gear their efforts toward aligning these development activities with the Sustainable Development Goals and their compelling aspiration to “Leave No-one Behind”. The solution ideas we seek to generate must be people-centric, placing human beings at the focal point of action. For a people-centric approach, the process of innovation should be responsive and participatory, consulting stakeholders and giving every voice its due consideration. This engenders multilevel and dynamic design principles to make space for community-centric innovation. The NOLA Tech Tap promises to address these policy levers and above all, stay true to the sustainable approach it endorses.
