Overview

Turning dormant documentation into usable intelligence

Mwezi is being designed to make development knowledge reusable instead of letting reports disappear into institutional archives.

The concept combines AI search, sourced answers, and a data-for-access model so organizations can contribute documents and receive value back through credits and discoverability.

Its initial thematic focus is climate adaptation in Mozambique, with a broader ambition to support resilience work across Africa.

Why it matters

Strategic importance

Knowledge systems

Unlocking hidden memory

Mwezi addresses one of development’s biggest inefficiencies: knowledge that exists but is not reused.

AI for evidence

Source-based answers

The concept focuses on traceable, document-grounded intelligence rather than vague generative output.

Scalable ambition

Africa-facing from Mozambique

The platform starts locally but is framed with regional potential.
