Technology that protects and enhances life.
We support foundations, local collectives, and small social enterprises to design, plan, and implement technology that improves their operations and turns processes into usable evidence: AI literacy, integration of accessible tools, data governance, and digital pilots with on-the-ground learning.
What do we do?
AI Literacy — Practical education
We train social teams in responsible AI: copilots, citation-based RAG, and basic automations, with guided practice and clear limits.
Light, interoperable architecture design
We select low-cost/open-source tools with APIs, zero lock-in, and simple integrations for a lightweight, scalable architecture.
Diagnostics & Process Mapping
We document key workflows and operational pain points and deliver a prioritized Technology Blueprint to organize, digitize, and measure.
Digital Pilots and
Support
We implement MVPs in weeks—forms, dashboards, automations, and assistants with local corpora—backed by training and close technical support.
Data, MEL, and monitoring dashboards
We define a Theory of Change, essential KPIs, and a baseline, and operate a live dashboard to make evidence-based decisions.
Data governance and safeguards
We establish consent, roles and access, anonymization, and response pathways; without safeguards and a data policy, there is no pilot.
Transfer and
Scaling
We document and standardize, run training-of-trainers, leave playbooks/case studies, and define a responsible, sustainable replication plan.
Technology & AI that matters
Life First
Technology only makes sense if it improves real life: more decent jobs, stable incomes, meaningful learning, and people’s safety. Before deployment, we apply a life test with metrics and safeguards; if it doesn’t deliver net benefits or increases vulnerabilities, it is not implemented. We co-design with those affected and publicly measure what we promise to transform.
Amplifying human capacities
AI is a co-pilot, not a replacement: it amplifies judgment, creativity, and coordination so teams do better what they already do well. Every sensitive decision goes through human review, with clear limits, traceability, and attention to bias. We want technology that frees time for human connection and meaningful work.
Data with Purpose
We collect only what is necessary, with an explicit purpose, revocable consent, and full transparency about uses and access. Every data point has an owner, a life cycle, and verifiable security controls. We govern information with simple, auditable rules so it serves the community—never extractivism.
Real Interoperability
We work with open formats, APIs, and guaranteed portability—no lock-in. Solutions integrate with what already exists and can be migrated when needed, maintaining traceability and auditability. The architecture is composable and transparent, designed to outlast any single tool.
Local Ownership
Technology should remain in the territory: we train teams through learning-by-doing, and provide micro-credentials, manuals, and living repositories. We transfer leadership and knowledge so communities can operate, improve, and replicate without depending on ODA. Capacity built today, autonomy tomorrow.
Low cost, low friction
We design mobile-first, for low bandwidth, with offline modes when needed, reducing access barriers. The experience prioritizes clarity, short cycle times, and minimal training so any team can operate without specialists. Less complexity, more impact.
ODA Impact ERP
ODA ERP with AI integrates your processes in one place and strengthens operational maturity across eight dimensions: Strategy & Governance, Brand & Communications, Sustainability & Territory, Economy & Community, Education & Knowledge, Technology & Data, People & Safeguards, and Monitoring–Evaluation–Learning (MEL). Get started in minutes with the setup wizard and manage 8 modules. Standardize processes and tasks in Kanban. MEL integrates indicators, generates reports, and measures impact. Manage teams, protocols, and permissions with role-based security. Connect tools via APIs with interoperability and portable data. Make progress and maturity visible, support decisions, and build trust with partners and donors. Professional management, visible impact.
ODA drives action-research to apply responsible AI to social challenges in LATAM. We co-design literacy programs, assess digitization opportunities, and run RAG across the 8 Dimensions, auditing bias, security, and governance with open standards. Guided by a Life-Centered Economy, we turn technology into installed capacity: citable playbooks, responsible-use frameworks, and transferable prototypes that elevate decision-making and transparency.
