Abstract
This paper will illustrate the strategic elements of development initiatives that involve providing life-saving bed nets to villages in Kenya, and can be extended to applications for villages in other developing countries. Based off of a case study by Jessica Cohen and Pascaline Dupas for an NGO called TAMTAM, this game experiment will show that partnerships are essential to ensuring the success of such initiatives, by steering the participants toward the best Nash Equilibrium.
