Welcome to our Development Jargon Generator
aka ‘The Jargonator‘. We have become so good at using jargon at work
that our computers have caught on. This brainy little piece of software can easily
generate capability statements, results frameworks, and titles found in winning proposals
and highly acclaimed evaluation reports.
Don’t believe it? See for yourself.
If The Jargonator makes titles and sentences sound nonsensical, yet eerily familiar to you, imagine how they must sound to the casual reader? It only takes a few lines of code to demonstrate that too much jargon makes our writing meaningless.
Our text analysis tool shows you how much development jargon you use. Your scores on the right indicate the most common jargon words or phrases you use.

This project is a lighthearted way to highlight the overuse of jargon in
international development.
Using jargon keeps us from
communicating our ideas and results clearly to people who benefit
the
most from them. At the Institute for Development Impact, we believe
this is a problem
that must be addressed. We are committed to make
our work accessible to everyone.

lexicon into plain English.
