FORECASTING

Elweli

Helping traders, farmers, and planners see ahead—forecasting that works even when data is sparse and patterns shift.

The Challenge

Imagine you're a fish trader in Nouadhibou. Every morning, you must decide: How much fish should I buy today? Will prices rise tomorrow or crash? Last week, you bought too much and watched your investment spoil. This week, you bought too little and missed the best prices of the month.

Or picture a farmer in Brakna. You need to plant next month, but should you? Will the rains come? They didn't come when expected last year, and the year before that was different still. Your grandfather could read the seasons, but those patterns no longer hold.

Across Mauritania, people make critical economic decisions with insufficient information. Markets swing wildly. Seasons shift unpredictably. Planning becomes gambling. And those with the least margin for error—small traders, farmers, herders—pay the highest price for uncertainty.

What We're Building

Elweli is designed to bring clarity to chaos. It's a forecasting tool that learns from patterns in the past to help predict the future—even when that past is incomplete, irregular, or disrupted by unexpected events.

We're building Elweli for Mauritania's reality: sparse data, irregular patterns, sudden shocks. Where other forecasting tools give up, Elweli is designed to find signals in the noise.

The goal is simple: help people make better decisions. Whether it's a trader deciding inventory, a farmer planning crops, or a government official allocating resources—better forecasts mean better outcomes.

IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Elweli is currently being built. We're working to create a forecasting system that truly works in Mauritania's unique economic context.
