We are a small team based in Geneva and Helsinki working to improve humanitarian data infrastructure.
On Equal Ground's mission is to democratise information in humanitarian settings by empowering people in need with all humanitarian information available and of use to them, services information, and giving them control over their data and sharing of their assistance needs and preferences.
A world in which humanitarian and development responses are effectively and efficiently tailored to individual needs and preferences, locally contextualised, and delivered through the organisations best able to provide them.
Abraham leads the technical architecture and engineering of the Granite platform. With a background in software engineering and a focus on building at the intersection of technology and social impact, Abraham designed Granite's consent-first data model, the OEG unique beneficiary identifier (UBID) system, and the mobile-first infrastructure that makes the platform work in low-connectivity environments.
Alvaro brings deep experience in humanitarian strategy, organisational development, and field operations. He has worked alongside organisations navigating displacement, food insecurity, and health crises across multiple regions. His vision for OEG is rooted in a direct understanding of the data failures that leave people unserved.
