From data to decisions.
EDIS connects economic models, sector planning systems, GIS, public finance and AI agents to help governments and institutions make better development decisions.
One question, four capabilities, one traceable answer
EDIS is the intelligent user-facing layer over AICTEM’s modelling, data, GIS, optimization, simulation, forecasting, budgeting and policy-analysis infrastructure. A question entered once is routed across all of it.
AI agents
Twenty-eight registered agents interpret a policy question, select the models that can answer it, and assemble the workflow. Agents orchestrate; they do not guess numbers.
Browse the agent registry →Models and simulation
FINEX, MTEF, CDCGE, UCSN, PIAS and fifteen sector and cross-cutting model services produce every quantitative estimate, forecast, optimization and appraisal.
Open the model explorer →GIS and spatial planning
Population, settlements, roads, facilities, grids, hazard and projects. EDIS answers not only what is needed but where it is needed, and who it reaches.
See the maps workspace →Reports and provenance
Executive summaries, policy briefs, technical reports and investment appraisals, each carrying the model used, the data used, the scenario, the assumptions and a run ID.
See report formats →A question becomes a routed workflow
EDIS never sends a policy question straight to a language model and returns the reply. The question is classified, the country and sector identified, the agents selected, the models determined, the data and permissions checked, and only then is a workflow executed.
The questions governments actually ask
EDIS holds a registered question library. Every question is linked to an agent, a workflow, a set of models, its data requirements, its outputs and its validation status — so users can see in advance what can be answered, how, and how reliably.

You can see what EDIS is doing
A single question can run eight models in sequence. EDIS shows the chain as it executes, marks each model complete, running, waiting or failed, and stops rather than guessing when a model does not converge or a dataset is missing.
Sixteen sectors, one framework
Sector models share a costing spine, a spatial layer and an economy-wide closure, so a health question and an energy question can be compared on the same basis.
Built for the institutions that allocate resources
EDIS is not a chatbot with a policy opinion
The AI layer and the analytical layer are separated by design and the separation is enforced in the architecture, not merely described in the marketing.
The AI layer
- Understands the question
- Routes it to registered agents
- Orchestrates the model workflow
- Explains what the results mean
- Writes the report around them
The AICTEM analytical layer
- Calculates and forecasts
- Simulates scenarios
- Optimizes allocations
- Maps and analyses space
- Validates every result
No number without a source
Every result carries a complete provenance record. If a figure cannot be traced to a model version, a dataset and a run, EDIS does not display it.

Model status badges appear on every result, so a user can tell whether an answer is reliable before acting on it.
The platform teaches the models it runs
Fourteen courses, one for each school of the Academy — from macroeconomics and public finance, economic modelling and public investment to climate, the sector models, microsimulation and MEL. Each runs five to ten days, in person in Nairobi and Accra and live virtual on East and West Africa time, with certification and laboratory access to training datasets and models.
Eight levels of access, one platform
Public, registered, professional, institutional, government, enterprise, Academy and API. Access is controlled by licence, not by page: what a user can ask, which models they can run, which countries they can see and how many runs they have are all set by the subscription.
The next cohorts
Fourteen courses, each run four times between 15 January 2027 and 25 January 2028 — in person in Nairobi and Accra, and live virtual on East Africa and West Africa time. Select a course to read it in full, or take a place.

From individual analysis to national decision infrastructure
Individual plans are paid online. Institutional and government deployments are contracted, because what is licensed is a configured national estate rather than a number of logins.
