🌍 Community Engagement 2 Platforms
Public-facing and social-impact platforms delivering accessible, data-driven intelligence to diverse communities — from UAE trade-policy stakeholders exploring CEPA agreements, to healthcare workers at a Burkina Faso clinic benefiting from a fully digitalised management system built on international best practices.
Community Engagement · Trade Policy Analysis
UAE CEPA Analysis Platform
An interactive analytics platform developed for the UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) analysis. The platform enables stakeholders — including government agencies, businesses, researchers, and the public — to explore trade flows, tariff schedules, and economic impact projections arising from the UAE's rapidly expanding network of bilateral CEPA agreements. It translates complex trade policy data into clear, actionable intelligence through dynamic charts, maps, and comparative tools.
Community Engagement · International Health · Burkina Faso
Clinique Aminat Integrated Management System (CAIMS)
CAIMS is an integrated clinic management platform developed as an international health community engagement initiative for Clinique Aminat — a privately operated medical clinic serving an underserved community in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The platform modernises and digitalises the clinic's core workflows — covering patient registration, appointment scheduling, consultation records, pharmacy inventory, and billing — replacing paper-based processes with a unified digital system built on international healthcare management best practices. By equipping the clinic with a single integrated digital system, CAIMS directly improves patient safety, operational efficiency, and the quality of care delivered to the local community.
