Government
See needs across services, investigate geographic inequalities and coordinate planning from community to regional and national levels.
See the whole community.
Plan what matters.
Understand people’s needs, the systems they rely on, and where support breaks down. Bring connected evidence into planning and investment decisions.
Community intelligence for better decisions.

The communityPeople & needs
The communityPeople & needsIllustrative framework, not a measured community assessment.
From fragmented information
to a clearer decision.
A facility on a map is a starting point. The useful question is whether people can use it, what it depends on, and what could improve their support.
- 01
Understand the place
Start with people, needs and geography. Build a community profile with sources and dates in view.
- 02
Connect the systems
Investigate services, access and dependencies within the community and across its wider networks.
- 03
Examine the gaps
Separate availability, accessibility, suitability, capacity, reliability and resilience. Make missing evidence visible.
- 04
Prepare a response
Use reviewed evidence to compare options and prepare a traceable planning brief. Scenarios require suitable inputs and stated assumptions.
Different responsibilities.
A shared understanding.
International funders
Understand the context behind an investment proposal, examine evidence gaps and support clearer prioritisation.
NGOs & partners
Understand local support networks, identify where work connects and prepare evidence for coordinated responses.
One shared approach.
Independent country platforms.
Each country maintains its own application, data pipeline, datasets, database and deployment. Local evidence and country review determine what analysis is available.
Evidence you can question.
Assumptions you can see.
Sources, reference periods, review status and uncertainty belong alongside the findings. Missing evidence stays visible. A mapped service does not by itself establish usable support, and a planning scenario is not a forecast.
Let’s start with a community question.
