Doing good, better.

Using design thinking, agile processes and digital technology for social impact

We partner with governments and organisations to strengthen service delivery, enhance oversight, and implement systems that improve lives.

Catalpa International is a not-for-profit development organisation leading the sector in digital impact and digitally-enabled programs across the Asia Pacific region.

We empower governments and organisations to make informed decisions and improve service delivery across complex systems and sectors including health, education and skills training, social protection, governance, infrastructure, agriculture, and justice.

With deep experience in international development practice, digital transformation, and software development, we’re bringing together the skills needed to create impact in a modern, digitised, and interconnected world.
