AI tool for tertiary roads
Public sector
Colombia
Resource Planning
This AI tool helps users identify and map tertiary roads (smaller rural roads) across a country using satellite images. It processes satellite data to automatically detect and georeference these roads, providing an accurate and up-to-date inventory. Users can then visualize road networks, assess accessibility, and make informed decisions for infrastructure planning and development. By automating this process, the AI reduces the time and cost associated with manual road mapping, supporting more efficient resource allocation for future projects. It ultimately helps improve transportation systems, particularly in rural and underserved areas.

Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) System for Climate Finance
Public sector
Colombia
Monitoring and Control
The Colombian National Planning Department's "Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification" (MRV) system leverages AI algorithms to automate the tracking of climate-related investments by gathering, classifying, and analyzing data from various sources, including public, private, and international databases. It simplifies manual efforts by the Department of Sustainable Development (DADS) in monitoring investments. The system organizes and standardizes information to ensure consistency across time and institutions. It classifies climate financing projects by type (e.g., mitigation or adaptation) and tracks their impact in 12 sectors and 35 subsectors. Data from disparate systems is integrated into a single platform. The AI also estimates investment flows and verifies data accuracy through automated processes. Its core goal is to enhance transparency and inform decision-making on climate financing in Colombia.
