Countable.
Verifiable. Fundable.
Africa's creative and innovation programs already create impact. We make it provable: every engagement becomes a verified Creative Mile, confirmed by both sides, that funders and partners trust.
Free for creatives. Organizations power the ecosystem.
Proof in practice
Uganda Registration Services Bureau and WIPO Africa leadership, receiving “IP in a Box,” the IP training game we designed and delivered.
Not a mockup. A real program, a real institution, a real outcome, verified and on the record.
As reported byNile Post: “Uganda becomes the first African country to launch IP in a Box” →The Core Promise
1 Creative Mile = 1 Verified Creative Engagement
Not self-reported. Not estimated. Verified by a contributor in your program and recorded on every participant's public profile. Creative Miles make creative output measurable, bankable, and worth something beyond the room it happened in.
Gamified Monitoring & Evaluation
Creative work is the hardest to prove. We make it countable.
Whether you run capacity building programs, civic dialogues, fellowships, or funding opportunities across Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda, Akatuuti gives you a verified record of every creative engagement your community delivers.
No more paper attendance sheets
Facilitators check participants in digitally, on-site, with a session code. No more chasing sign-in sheets after the fact, or guessing who actually showed up.
Progress you can see mid-program, not just at the end
Milestone completions are verified by a facilitator or mentor as they happen, so you know who is falling behind while there's still time to intervene, not three months later in an evaluation report.
A dashboard your funder can check themselves
Verified engagement updates in real time on a public, funder-facing profile. No end-of-quarter scramble to build a report from scattered spreadsheets.
How we help
Three ways we get you to stronger outcomes.
Program & Competition Design
Most programmes deliver activities. We deliver participation.
We build participant journeys that improve engagement, simplify delivery, and generate measurable results.
- Programme strategy
- Competition systems
- Participant experience
- Delivery frameworks
Curriculum Development
Creatives switch off in a classroom. So we stopped using one.
We develop practical, participant-centred curricula that improve engagement and outcomes.
- Curriculum design
- Gamified learning
- Facilitator manuals
- Behaviour change
Stakeholder Engagement & Mobilization
Move stakeholders from awareness to action.
We help you identify, attract, and activate the stakeholders that matter most.
- Stakeholder mapping
- Outreach strategy
- Event design
- Partnerships
Every one of these runs on the same engine: the Gamified Monitoring & Evaluation platform above, verifying participation and proving outcomes as you deliver, not a separate product to bolt on after.
Our Vision
An Africa where the creative sector is bankable, measured, mapped, and trusted by every funder, partner, and creative.
Our Mission
Replace self-reported guesswork with gamified verification, confirmed by both sides, every time.

Three Years of Research and Development
Not a hunch. A framework.
Akatuuti is the product of three years of research and development into how creative and civic engagement can be measured, verified, and valued. Creative Miles are the applied layer of that work.
If your organization works in monitoring and evaluation, impact, or ecosystem funding, these are the deep dive: the methodology, the DeFi framework, and a visualisation of our gamified M&E framework developed for the creative sector.

How It Works
One ecosystem. Two sides. One currency.
Organizations build programs. Creatives build records. Creative Miles connect both.
Organization
Create a program
Launch a workshop, fellowship, campaign, or funding opportunity. Set milestones. Invite contributors.
Creative
Enroll and show up
Participants join, check in with a session code, and work through milestones at their own pace.
Contributor
Verify engagement
Facilitators and mentors verify milestone completions. No self-reporting. The community is the witness.
Everyone
Earns Creative Miles
Participants earn Creative Miles for their verified engagement. Organizations build a public record of real, measurable impact.
For the Creatives
Your engagement becomes your record.
Every workshop you attend, every dialogue you join, every milestone you complete earns you a verified Creative Mile. They stack into a public profile that travels with you, from your first program to Ecosystem Leader, across every organization you ever work with.
