An open space for the AI tools, open-source code, and learnings we’ve built across the development sector.
Brought to you by the Frontier Tech Hub and IDIA. Use what’s here, share what you build, and join a growing community working out where AI fits in our work.
OASIS gathers the AI-enabled tools, open code, and practical learnings the Frontier Tech Hub, IDIA, and our partners have built for people working in international development.
It’s a place to try things, learn out loud, and build together. Curious? Start with the tools below, or head straight to the open data on GitHub.
Open, AI-enabled tools designed for the rhythms of development work — searching evidence, exploring portfolios, and surfacing insights faster.
Unlocks insights from thousands of evaluation reports that currently sit unused across the development sector. Turns dense PDFs into structured, searchable, traceable evidence — so staff can compare interventions and synthesise lessons across whole portfolios.
Open EvalExplorerAI-assisted programme analysis across the IATI dataset of development and humanitarian programmes. Extract insight 1000× faster while keeping humans in control of the analysis.
Open DevExplorerA new tool in development to help teams map and analyse transport-sector signals from across the globe. An early preview lives at tgis.ai.
