From Signals to Population Intelligence

A hackathon launch that kicks off a focused 4-month build sprint — delivering working population intelligence tools integrated into country workflows.
  • 3 Tracks
  • 4 Month Sprint
  • 6 Partners

 


01 · The Problem

The data that could save lives already exists. It is just not connected into decisions.

The gap is not data. The gap is integration, validation, and usability.

 



02 · The Concept

What is PopIntel Hack?

A session that aligns teams and launches a focused 4-month build sprint — delivering small, working population intelligence tools integrated into PDP+ and country workflows.



03 · Three Tracks, One System

Each track builds something usable. All outputs connect through PDP+.

Choose the track that matches your expertise and interest. Every track delivers a working tool within four months.



04 · Partners

Each partner owns a defined part of the intelligence chain.

Six organisations. One system from signals to validated action.



05 · Mentors

Meet the mentors guiding each track.



06 · Sprint Structure

Register. Learn. Pitch. Build. Present. Win.

Five phases from June to end of October 2026 — from open registration to winners announced.
