About AidIntel
The international development and humanitarian sector is under pressure. Shrinking budgets, leaner teams and increased competition for funding mean organisations need to do more with less, without compromising the quality of analysis and programming that drives real impact.
AidIntel was built for this moment. It combines the analytical power of AI with the institutional knowledge, local context and practitioner expertise that organisations already hold, producing outputs that are not just faster, but smarter and more deeply grounded than either could achieve alone.
AidIntel is a purpose-built platform for international development practitioners that covers the full development workflow: political economy analysis, stakeholder mapping, donor-aligned proposals, donor intelligence and aid landscape research. What once took weeks and even months of senior staff and consultant time now takes hours, freeing teams to focus on designing better programs, accessing more funding, and creating stronger impact.
Who It's For
AidIntel is designed for international development practitioners, consultants, NGO program staff, implementing organisations, donor agency staff, and think tanks working across governance, infrastructure, humanitarian response, peacebuilding, and systems reform programming.
Built by Practitioners
Kelsey Atwood is the Founder and Lead Developer of AidIntel. She is an international development professional with more than sixteen years of senior leadership experience overseeing complex, multi-country policy portfolios across Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East, and East Africa.
Kelsey's work spans infrastructure governance, enabling policy environments, and large-scale systems reform — with deep experience supporting foundations, international donors, and local civil society organisations to navigate the political economy of institutional change. That experience sits at the core of AidIntel: a tool built by someone who has spent sixteen years doing exactly the analytical work the platform is designed to accelerate.
David Gilmore is a lead contributor to AidIntel and an international development specialist with fifteen years of experience across South and Southeast Asia. He has built and managed large-scale funds and programs spanning humanitarian response, post-conflict development, peacebuilding, and human rights — with a consistent focus on designing adaptive and impactful programming that works with and through local partners. He has worked with local civil society organisations, large INGOs including Save the Children, and the United Nations.
Current Status
