Our agency provides bespoke services in research, programme development and training for clients.
Based in Accra, Ghana, our associates are leading experts in education and development in African systems and whose expertise are based on their deep knowledge of how African systems work. We began as a need to champion and produce research to engage policy makers, practitioners and international development organisations in improving education and social services in Africa.
We are focused on using knowledge from research, evaluation and policy analysis to work with clients to improve the wellbeing and productive capacity of Africans.
We aim to produce high quality independent research and evaluation studies that provide insights and solutions for solving Africa’s education and development challenges. We adopt an afrocentric approach to understanding problems of education and development in Africa and invest time in working with our clients to translate research insights, policy analysis and evaluation results into tangible implementation strategies and solutions.
Our pool of researchers have deep knowledge and experience of working in Africa. They are invested in producing research that empower Africans to find solutions to their development needs.
