A Trusted Research & Data Partner for Development Programs

We pair geospatial analysis, rigorous data collection and responsible data handling to give donors, county governments and program teams transparent, SDG-aligned evidence they can act on.

Community Baseline Studies & Data Collection
We design and run baseline studies and structured field data collection so programs begin with an accurate picture of community needs, assets and conditions rather than assumptions.
GIS & Remote-Sensing Analysis
We use GIS mapping, drone imagery and remote sensing to analyse land, infrastructure and environmental change, helping partners and county governments target interventions where they matter most.
Dashboards & SDG Tracking
Interactive dashboards translate field data into clear, SDG-aligned insights, giving program teams and communities a live view of progress and outcomes over time.

Our Research & Data Approach

From baseline studies and GIS analysis to dashboards and monitoring, our work is built for measurable impact, community ownership and local technical capacity.

How We Support Evidence & Learning

From baseline studies and GIS analysis to dashboards and monitoring, our work is built for measurable impact, community ownership and local technical capacity.

Baseline Assessment & Study Design
We scope research questions, design surveys and map indicators before programs begin, so interventions are built on evidence and measured against a credible starting point.
Local Research & Data Capacity
We build local capacity so community enumerators, technicians and partner staff can collect, manage and interpret data and sustain monitoring for the long term.
Inclusive & Participatory Research
We design data collection around women, youth and marginalized groups, working with communities so they shape the questions, co-own the findings and benefit from the evidence.
County & Institutional Partnerships
We work alongside county governments, NGOs and development partners across Makueni, Nairobi, Kakamega, Vihiga and Narok to align research with local plans, standards and SDG targets.
Responsible Data Handling
We manage data with consent, security and privacy in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 and GDPR principles, so communities and partners can trust how information is collected and used.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
Dashboards and field data help track indicators, functionality and SDG-aligned outcomes, giving donors transparent evidence of impact and program teams the insight to learn and adapt.
