Why Orcesas

Digital expertise grounded in NGO operations.

Your team needs clear approvals, reliable records and reporting it can stand behind. We connect those everyday needs with relevant donor requirements and development priorities, shaping practical systems and the staff capabilities to sustain them.

Explore our approachContact

Three parts of one digitalization partnership

Software that supports the way you work

We assess your workflows, then configure an existing platform, connect suitable tools or develop custom software. Depending on your priorities, the work can cover finance and HR, programme monitoring, reporting, community feedback or internal coordination. Permissions, approvals, data quality and reporting are built into the workflow.

AI with a defined purpose and human oversight

We identify tasks where AI can help, such as working with approved documents, preparing drafts or analysing suitable information. Each use case has clear data boundaries, a responsible staff owner and a way to check outputs. We evaluate its usefulness before expanding it.

People who can use and sustain the investment

Our workshops connect digital and AI skills to actual staff tasks. Practice, clear instructions and administrator handover help your team adopt the tools and manage them over time. Training is part of implementation, with practical demonstrations of what participants can do.

We translate donor priorities into systems, processes and skills.

AFS: organisational capability that can be assessed

The Aid Fund for Syria’s May 2025 Manual assesses ICT governance and the design and automation of finance and HR processes. Its 2025–2030 strategy prioritises evidence, monitoring and community feedback, and explores AI. Its January 2026 Localisation Approach tracks stronger systems and processes as institutional-development indicators. For relevant engagements, we connect these priorities to working controls, reporting workflows and staff capability.

UNDP: a disciplined method for digital delivery

UNDP’s Digital Standards emphasise user needs, inclusion, testing, responsible data, measurable outcomes and long-term adoption. Its 2026–2029 Strategic Plan identifies digital and AI transformation as a development accelerator. We use these reference points to inform needs assessment, technology selection, responsible AI and sustainable implementation.

Syria’s humanitarian response: responsible information handling

The April 2025 Syria Information Sharing Protocol addresses privacy and data protection by design, security safeguards, organisational procedures and training. When working with humanitarian information, we use applicable response guidance to inform access, sharing, retention and staff practices.

UN priorities: inclusion and responsible technology

The Global Digital Compact sets a direction for digital inclusion, skills, responsible data and human oversight. We translate those themes into accessible tools, practical learning and accountable use of AI, according to each NGO’s needs.

World Bank: understanding the wider digital direction

The Digital Development Partnership’s 2025 review describes priorities around digital access, affordability, ecosystems, AI readiness and safeguards. It provides context for the wider investment environment. We distinguish these country-level priorities from requirements that apply to your NGO.

Your project can include a baseline assessment, a practical roadmap, a source-linked requirements map, tested workflows and reports, operating procedures, training records and an ownership and maintenance plan.

We agree useful measures with your team—for example, reporting time, data errors, completed reconciliations or staff task performance—and check progress after rollout. Your organisation can use the resulting documentation in relevant partner discussions, assessments and project proposals. Funding decisions remain with the relevant organisation.
