Three ways in
A word from the director
“We are not looking for donors. We are looking for partners who want to see what their commitment produces.”
Our training goes where no one is expected any more: into the regions, to the young people, the women and the teachers that digital progress had left aside. What we offer is not an appeal to generosity — it is a partnership in which every commitment can be read in a skill gained, a job found, a public service brought closer. Our platforms are already running, our sessions fill their rooms, and everything we claim can be checked in the field. Come and see for yourself, then let us decide together what we can build.

Two organisations · One value chain
The Academy builds the skills. The consultancy turns needs into working solutions.
Idea Academy NGO · Public interest
Partner-funded programmes, professional training and capacity building for organisations.
IA-01
Win back several hours a week on writing, summarising and research — without putting your confidential files at risk.
IA-02
Deliver in one morning the report that used to take a week, and present figures your management understands without explanation.
IA-03
Give your teams back the hours lost to data entry, sorting and follow-ups — with the decision staying human.
IA-04
Put artificial intelligence at the heart of daily operations — HR, finance, logistics — without your sensitive data ever leaving the organisation.
IA-05
Hand over whole assignments — not isolated tasks — to agents that work for you and account for what they do.
IA-06
Move from observation to anticipation: prepare your decisions on what is likely to happen, not on what already has.

The Academy's regional programme
A flagship programme among the assignments that partners and funders can support.
FOREG
The way in
A travelling regional training programme in data and AI. Four years running: it creates interest, trains young people and spots regional talent.
TranonAI
Development
The House of Artificial Intelligence, planned across all 24 regions. Premises, connectivity, equipment and mentoring: it stops the momentum FOREG creates from fading away.
IA-ANATRA
Taking responsibility
Support for participants and integration of the NGO's ambassadors, who feed back the real needs from the field.
Sector platforms
Useful services
IA-ANTOKA, IA-AVOTRA and I-TOMADY turn those skills into services for public decision-making, agriculture and community health.
Portfolio of delivered work
Two platforms are well advanced. Two MVPs are looking for a partner to consolidate them. We state that distinction openly — it is part of what we offer.
Governance, public finance and transparency
Decide on figures you can trace back to their source.
Public decision-support and accountability system. It consolidates governance and public finance data, makes it traceable back to its origin, and opens a citizen grievance channel reachable from a basic handset.
Documented capabilities
Public institutions · Court of Auditors and oversight bodies · Civil society and media · Local authorities
See the platformEducation, teaching and training
Train, employ, reintegrate — in the age of artificial intelligence.
National adaptive learning system, from basic education to continuing professional training. It carries learning paths, employment and reintegration, civic education, and reaches families who have no Internet access.
Documented capabilities
Ministry of Education and inspectors · Schools and teachers · Young people, learners and families · Companies and training funders
See the platformEconomy: farming, livestock, fisheries, tourism
Market prices and the right farming decision, down to the village.
Rural economy support system: commodity prices, crop diagnosis, weather alerts and input pooling. It is built first for the isolated producer, through the channel they already own.
Documented capabilities
Producers and cooperatives · Regional agriculture and livestock directorates · Exporters and value chains · Rural development programmes
See the platformPublic health and primary care
Medical decisions at the last mile, in thirty seconds.
Community health support system. It equips community health workers, puts triage within reach of a free call, and hands the doctor a prepared decision to validate in one click.
Documented capabilities
Ministry of Health and health districts · Basic health centres and chief doctors · Community health workers · Health and research partners
See the platformPersonal safety, property protection and environment
Protect people, property and forests — with the community, under legal authority.
Integrated protection system in three strands: people, property and environment. No response is ever triggered by the AI: only a judicial officer can qualify an alert and authorise action.
Documented capabilities
National gendarmerie and judicial authorities · National disaster management office · Forestry service and protected area managers · Municipalities and community committees
See the platformLet's talk about what you need
01
FOREG has run for four years across several regions, and IA-ANATRA is already under way in DIANA. Support funds an acceleration, not a start-up.
02
Our platforms tie every published value to its origin. Data that cannot be traced is not displayed.
03
Participants become ambassadors and contributors: they test the platforms, feed back needs and keep the programme alive locally.
