Mission

We leverage exponential technologies to scale powerful grassroots programs that create systems change.

We help international organizations, companies, UN agencies and non-profits leverage the power of exponential technology in their work to make a lasting difference. With over 30 years of combined field work experience in Africa and the Middle East, we know how to listen for opportunity and build what matters.

We work with diverse stakeholders scaling impact and innovation in vulnerable communities, with a focus on low-connectivity environments. In addition to our consulting and thought leadership, Code Innovation leads the largest digital platform for women’s savings groups in the world.

Our Story

Our roots in the international development innovations ecosystem started at UNICEF involve work in more than two dozen low-income countries. We have managed pan-African tech projects with UN agencies, advised African government ministries on exponential technologies, and workshopped disruptive new trends with multinational corporations.
