Motivational Misalignment : Managing The Competing Drivers Of Trans-National Design-Build In Rural South Africa

• The University of Nottingham (UoN) has run a series of design/build projects in South Africa for ten years. Over the past four years, a concerted effort has been made by new stakeholders in the University to re-align the work towards a more explicitly collaborative, focused, and equitable model. This effort and the subsequent changes have revealed an unexpected range of motivations in all participants: both in teachers and students; both in clients and facilitators; and both in northern and southern collaborators. The projects, not uncommon to building beyond borders, have a series of stakeholders: students, educators, end users, University Institutions, and non-governmental organisations. The motivations for each to enter a project are diverse and can be contradictory. This paper explores the motivations of some of these stakeholders, and lays the groundwork for more formal studies with others.
