Conduct Rigorous Research
We focus on delivering cutting-edge research across various sectors to tackle complex challenges. For example, our study on plastic recycling attitudes among small retail shops in Nairobi aimed to enhance sustainable waste management and improve environmental practices.
Building Partnerships:
We collaborate with leading academic institutions, NGOs, government agencies, and private sector organisations, including the University of Nairobi, Makerere University, and The World Bank, to maximise our impact and drive meaningful change.
Product Design & Development
We specialise in designing and developing innovative products to understand human behaviour, such as our gamified gambling app used in a study on savings and expenditure patterns among young men in Kenya and Uganda.
Impact Policy
We ensure our findings reach policymakers and stakeholders to inform decision-making processes, as demonstrated by our study on the impacts of floods in Nairobi's Mukuru Viwandani slums, which provided crucial insights for disaster response and resilience-building efforts.
