Our Approach
Baraka City integrates humanitarian response with long-horizon sustainability. We pilot responsibly, scale what works, and retire what doesn’t—
always with community leadership, local supply chains, and climate resilience at the core.
- Co-design: solutions built with local committees and existing systems.
- Open & appropriate tech: repairable hardware, offline-first tools, and fair licensing.
- Impact evidence: baseline→midline→endline with transparent dashboards.
Innovation Pillars
Why It Works
- Ownership & governance reside in the community.
- Spare parts sourced locally to reduce lead times.
- Transparent dashboards track uptime and fees.

Climate-Smart & Nature-Positive
We integrate early warning, drought-resistant water planning, and community-led restoration. Each site develops
a micro-adaptation plan—shade structures, water harvesting, and soil regeneration—paired with livelihood support.
- Rainwater capture + biosand filtration for schools
- Fuel-efficient stoves reducing biomass pressure
- Agroforestry nurseries linked to savings groups
Measurement, Learning & Open Tech
Every project includes an M&E plan with baselines, community scorecards, and independent audits. We use offline-first data collection,
open standards for indicators, and privacy-first practices. Results feed into our public impact dashboard and partner reports.
- Enumerator training and spot checks for data quality
- Open-source toolchain (DHIS2/ODK/KoBo) with local hosting options
- Quarterly learning reviews to adapt programs quickly
