DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The OMTSE team presented at Abraham House in Davos on the critical role of artificial intelligence in supporting underserved communities around the world.
During the session, OMTSE Co-Founder Apl.de.Ap and Uynghiem Ngo shared firsthand experiences from the field using Earth Sama, OMTSE's developing digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) application. The AI-driven tool is designed to onboard smallholder farmers, record their participation, and address real-world challenges they encounter—ensuring tens of thousands are not left out of climate finance or emerging climate, sustainability, and development initiatives.
Underserved farmers in rural provinces of the Philippines and other developing countries are frequently unrecorded and unaccounted for. Without reliable data, these communities are often overlooked and miss critical opportunities for funding, aid, and long-term economic participation, while industry inadvertently loses access to vast swathes of collective land mass. This challenge is particularly pronounced in the Philippines, an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, where geography makes traditional data collection difficult—but also makes digitization essential.
By leveraging AI and mobile-first technology, Earth Sama bridges this gap by creating verifiable, inclusive records and provides data access that bring farmers into global systems of support, finance, and accountability.
OMTSE and Abraham House are aligned in their mission to use technology to empower dialogue, scale collaboration, and drive meaningful action—resulting in real income, human dignity, and a thriving planet.
While conversations continue on the global stage, the work remains firmly grounded. OMTSE continues its efforts on the ground, working directly with communities to ensure technology delivers tangible impact where it is needed most.
