Generating Insights. Driving Innovation. Transforming Africa.
Contract-based research & pilot projects, feasibility studies & innovation incubation, impact evaluations & R&D support. We design, test, and scale solutions tailored to Africa's complex development challenges.
Quantitative & qualitative data analysis, big data modeling & statistical forecasting, dashboard development & interactive visualization. We turn complex data into clear, actionable insights using tools like Python, Power BI, and QGIS.
Proposal and concept note development, grant sourcing and bid preparation, academic writing, systematic reviews, thesis support. We help individuals and institutions secure funding and publish research that matters.
M&E frameworks, baseline/midline/endline studies, logic models & impact measurement, participatory needs assessments. We ensure programs are evidence-driven, adaptive, and results-oriented.
Training in research methods, ethics, proposal writing, practical workshops in M&E, GIS, AI, and data analysis. We empower Africa's workforce and students with real-world research and data skills.
Evidence-based public policy analysis, government and private sector strategy design, market research & social impact assessments. We support informed decision-making through policy-relevant data and consulting.
Webinars, conferences, open-access publishing, research-to-practice translation and dissemination, institutional knowledge repository development. We amplify research impact by making it accessible, engaging, and actionable.
This groundbreaking project explores how small and medium enterprises across Africa are leveraging business analytics tools to transform operations and gain a competitive edge.
Offers actionable insights for African governments, business development agencies, and digital service providers to support SME digital transformation.
In this agri-tech initiative, we are using machine learning models and image datasets to build a real-time disease detection and early warning system for crops like cassava.
Enhancing food security by reducing losses, enabling proactive response, and democratizing agri-intelligence for smallholder farmers across Africa.
This strategic project aims to build a centralized, user-friendly repository of Africa-centric datasets spanning health, agriculture, education, energy, and governance.
Laying the foundation for open data-driven research and innovation, enabling evidence-based policymaking, and promoting equitable access to quality African data.
