About Us
Contexium, the localization platform
We are on a mission to localize aid and development.
At Contexium we are bringing together experts in tech and international development to help drive the localization agenda through technology.
Why are we doing this?
Localization is the future of aid and development delivery. It’s cost effective, sustainable and empowering. Local solutions to local problems to achieve global development.
But barriers exist. Barriers of transparency, capacity and trust.
Contexium are breaking down these barriers one by one to create a world where local organisation and international organisations can work easily and simply together.
The Team
Contexium is powered by MetricsLed. Since its founding in 2012, MetricsLed has become the technology company of choice for the international aid and development sector. MetricsLed had supported the delivery of complex aid programs across the globe with practical, reliable solutions.
Contexium represents the next step in this journey. It was created to meet a growing demand: enabling local organizations to participate more directly and effectively in international development efforts. Localization is no longer just an ideal, it’s becoming a requirement in many development aid projects as recognition grows of the benefits it brings.
By combining MetricsLed’s technological expertise with a focus on localization, Contexium offers a platform that supports local organisation to transform the development and aid landscape – delivering from the ground up.
