What 2m does

2M Corp is a private Gambian data analytics and software solutions firm that delivers survey management, custom software development, and digital public-sector systems to governments, multilateral development organisations, and NGOs. The company is headquartered in Fajara, Bakau, and operates with a core team of approximately 16 professionals supported by a network of 70+ field staff deployed across data collection operations. Co-founded and led by Yaya Saidou Jallow (CEO) and Momodou Lamin Jarju (CTO), 2M Corp has delivered more than 40 projects across 8+ countries spanning West Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and North America.

The company's technology portfolio combines open-source foundations with proprietary platforms. Its core technology stack includes Django/Python, PostgreSQL, SurveyCTO, ODK, and the Microsoft ecosystem, layered with proprietary assets such as HoneyGuide (a data quality platform featuring biometric facial recognition screening and real-time validation), Kaarange (a cash transfer MIS with mobile money integration), and MTally (an Android container-tracking application). 2M Corp is an official partner of the openIMIS Initiative and has customised and deployed openIMIS for national health insurance schemes in The Gambia, Nigeria, and Lao PDR. It is also a Certified Microsoft Partner delivering Business Central, Dynamics 365, and Azure implementations, and offers cybersecurity services built on Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Sophos, Bitdefender, and Untangle solutions.

2M Corp operates a project-based professional services model, generating revenue through competitive tendering, direct proposals, and framework agreements rather than standardised SaaS pricing. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government ministries, multilateral organisations (World Bank, UNICEF, ILO, WFP), and implementing partners, with engagements typically combining survey implementation, software customisation and deployment, system integration, training, and technical advisory. Repeat engagements with anchor multilateral clients and national-scale deployments in social protection, health insurance, civil service digitisation, and education evaluations suggest a long-cycle, relationship-driven sales motion characteristic of development-sector professional services firms.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Mathematica: US policy research and data analytics firm running large-scale impact evaluations, RCTs and learning assessments for World Bank, USAID and foundations; directly comparable to 2M's survey and MEISS-style education evaluation work.
• JSI (John Snow, Inc.): Global public health consulting firm implementing health information systems, supply chain and immunization programmes — closely comparable to 2M's health insurance and government digitisation work and frequently a prime on the same donor tenders.
• Palladium: Large international development consulting firm operating globally across health, governance, and economic growth; competes with 2M for World Bank, USAID and FCDO framework agreements and is a typical prime contractor on multi-country M&E and survey programmes where 2M serves as a local implementation partner.
• Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH): Coordinator of the openIMIS Initiative and the largest implementer of openIMIS worldwide; competes with 2M for the same multilateral health insurance and social protection deployments but at significantly greater scale and with deeper donor relationships.
• Abt Associates: Major US-based international development consultancy with deep practice areas in health systems strengthening, impact evaluation and survey research; comparable to 2M as a competitor for donor-funded health and education evaluation work in Africa.

Emerging players

• IDInsight: Data-driven decision support organisation working with donors and social-sector organisations across Africa and Asia; comparable to 2M as a younger, mission-aligned firm combining rigorous impact evaluation with embedded technical advisory.
• Dimagi: Developer of CommCare, an open-source mobile data collection and case management platform used by governments and NGOs in low-resource settings; comparable to 2M's openIMIS, Kaarange and MTally product lines targeting frontline social-sector workflows.
• SurveyCTO: Survey data collection platform provider widely used by researchers and M&E teams including those2M serves; competes and overlaps with 2M's HoneyGuide/CAPI stack in the same survey-technology stack.

Direct peers

• Blue Square SA: Belgian social-sector tech firm and the lead commercial partner behind openIMIS implementations; 2M has explicitly subcontracted for Blue Square on The Gambia's eNHIS deployment, making Blue Square its closest operational peer on health insurance and social protection platforms.

Regional players

• ThinkWell: Global health systems and immunization consulting firm with a strong presence in African and Southeast Asian government engagements; comparable to 2M on health-system digitisation, social protection and donor-funded advisory mandates.
