Designing what it takes for everyone to thrive and reshape the world.
What we do
OpenImpact Studio is an impact, strategy and design agency. We work to create a more equitable world where everyone can thrive. We do this in two ways.
We co-design and co-create campaigns, projects and initiatives that advance livelihoods, protect the planet and make opportunity real. And we build sovereign, public-good technology for high-impact teams driving change across the globe.
What it enables
- Pandemic preparedness
- Animal health
- Livelihoods
- Market access
Working with others
We take ideas and make them happen, in partnership with the people closest to the problem.
We work with civil society groups, governments and regulatory agencies, and grassroots communities: anyone working towards a thriving and more equitable world.
Co-design & strategy
We design initiatives and projects in partnership with those most affected.
Implementation & delivery
We turn plans into a running program, and build the local capacity to keep it running without us.
Monitoring, evaluation & learning
We build measurement in from the start, and act on what we find.
Campaigns & engagement
We build new pathways for communities to organise, new networks of impact, and ways for people to shape the decisions that affect them.
We work across issues of climate, food systems, health, livelihoods, inequality, biodiversity and conservation.
What we build
Sovereign tools built for impact & long-term support.
We develop a growing set of digital tools and products built with impact in mind: tools which are self-hostable, configurable, data-sovereign and work both online and offline.
Pandemic preparedness, animal health, livelihoods support and conservation, all within one integrated platform.
Allowing communities and organisations to organise and be heard.
Secure sharing of sensitive documents, on a self-hostable platform.
Lightweight learning and training system which is deployable anywhere and customisable to an organisation's needs.
Monitoring and evaluation done right.
Helping communities prepare for disaster, and respond when it comes.
Giving impact organisations a shared memory and a digital chief of staff.
How we work
We are committed to co-design and co-creation. We work with the people closest to the issues to build what they will own.
Twenty-three years of practice across the Asia-Pacific and East Africa. We are mission-first, and we leave behind the skills, systems, technology and knowledge to carry the work forward without us.
Enact
A workspace for civil society to create and sustain impact.
A digital chief of staff for your organisation, campaign or community group: records, messaging, grants and programme results in one place, without an M&E department to do it.
