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 co-design and co-create campaigns, projects and initiatives that advance livelihoods, protect the planet and make opportunity real.
Strategy
We leverage research, insights, data and experience to shape a world where everyone thrives, guided by equity, opportunity and sustainability. We help organisations, grassroots movements, business and activists to understand the world around them, so they can make strategic decisions that build a thriving world for all.
Initiatives
We co-design, develop and implement initiatives that create positive, equitable impact. This ranges from grassroots campaigns and digital-first activations, to developing multi-year strategic initiatives and programs.
Tools
We build digital infrastructure, shaped by a commitment to privacy, data sovereignty and the public good, which enables campaigners, NGOs and purpose-first organisations to create more sustainable and long-lasting impact.
What it enables
Pandemic Preparedness
Kora tracks animal disease as it happens, from the field to the national level, so health authorities can act on an outbreak before it reaches people.
Animal Health + Management
Field workers record treatments, vaccinations and animal movements on their phones, and that history builds up for government authorities to see in real time.
Supporting Livelihoods
A family that loses a breeding animal to preventable disease can lose months of income overnight. Kora's early alerts and vaccination records help smallholders and pastoralist communities protect the animals their livelihoods depend on.
Increasing Market Access
Clean movement and health records are often required before livestock can cross a border or reach a formal market. Kora keeps that documentation current, so producers can meet the standards buyers and regulators set.
Protect Biological Diversity
Kora manages wildlife and conservation data alongside livestock records, so a disease risk crossing between farmed and wild animals shows up in one place, not two.
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.

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 program results in one place, without an M&E department to do it.
