We're a human-centred design and technology organisation committed to better aid and development. We integrate technology and behavioural insights with locally-driven solutions to create lasting change. Our projects span education, health, nutrition, agriculture, environment, disability, labour market development and aid coordination. They’re designed to connect people, make information accessible, and nudge behaviours for social good. Most importantly, they help people make more informed decisions—whether that's when to visit a medical clinic or where to direct aid funding. Catalpa’s team is interdisciplinary, with designers, engineers, researchers and sector specialists working across the entire life cycle of global development projects. We currently partner with governments, NGOs, the private sector and donor organisations across the Asia-Pacific region.
