We discuss the design of a technology-based vaccine education intervention for Somali refugees in the US. Originally conceived of as a culturally and linguistically appropriate project to be co-designed by refugees, funder demands for a "social enterprise" led to future iterations being developed for a "generic" audience. We explore epistemological negotiations and shifting priorities that shaped intervention design, highlighting how nonprofits engage neoliberal ideologies such as "social enterprise" and "design thinking" while attempting to meet community needs. We argue that social enterprises and design thinking can suffuse neoliberal ideologies into nonprofits to the detriment of community-engaged solutions.
我们讨论了为美国的索马里难民设计一项基于技术的疫苗教育干预措施。最初设想这个项目是一个具有文化和语言适应性的项目，由难民共同设计，但由于资助者对“社会企业”的要求，导致后续的迭代版本是为“通用”受众开发的。我们探讨了影响干预措施设计的认识论协商和优先事项的转变，强调了非营利组织如何在试图满足社区需求的同时，参与新自由主义意识形态，如“社会企业”和“设计思维”。我们认为，社会企业和设计思维可以将新自由主义意识形态渗透到非营利组织中，从而损害社区参与的解决方案。
