Community understanding is hard to gain in rapidly urbanising emerging markets
The Global South is the most rapidly urbanising part of the world. It is projected that by 2025, the urban population of the Global South will be 3.75 billion.
This rapid urbanisation is leaving an increasing number of people behind, characterised by low resources, high informality, and climate vulnerability.
We use low-tech mobile engagement and high-tech data analysis to make understanding quick and easy
Weaverbirds harnesses WhatsApp and AI-driven analytics to help clients gain quick, affordable, high-context insights from the communities they serve.
We primarily engage with young, urban, and peri-urban individuals earning $5-30 per day, a crucial demographic for developing sustainable urban economies and facilitating the transition from low to middle-income status. Understanding these communities is increasingly important for both commercial and impact interventions, as data and market insights enable informed decision-making and remove barriers to growth.
Our Mission
is to deliver rapid, affordable, and high quality market data, while creating meaningful income sources in regions where formal job growth is not keeping pace with the population.
Our Vision
is to amplify community voices to directly influence the development of policies, programmes, and products that foster sustainable development and socioeconomic inclusion.
