Our work

Two things, done properly.

Some questions need a study, not a dashboard. The lab designs and runs that research, and trains the researchers who do it.

Economic, management & social research

Rigorous studies for governments, development partners, businesses and foundations who need to understand a market, a policy or a population before they act.

  • Market, sector and value-chain studies
  • Policy and programme evaluation
  • Surveys and social research
  • Organisational and management research

Research fellowship

Researchers join the lab on live projects on African business and economics, working alongside our senior researchers. One paid, three-month place is open now.

  • Paid, full-time and remote
  • Live client projects

Questions

Good to know.

What is Quantify Research Lab?

It is the research lab of Analytics for Africa. It runs economic, management and social research, and a paid research fellowship.

How is it different from Analytics for Africa's own work?

Analytics for Africa builds dashboards, models and data platforms, runs Data-as-a-Service and the Academy, and publishes Insights. The lab does research and research training. When a project needs both, whichever side brought in the client leads and brings in the other.

How do I apply for the fellowship?

Use the fellowship application on this page. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply early.

Is the fellowship paid?

Yes. It carries a stipend for the three months. We discuss the amount with shortlisted applicants.

Can I apply if I'm not based in Africa?

Yes. We strongly prefer applicants based in Africa, but experience researching African issues is what we require.

Do I need creative economy experience?

No. It's a plus, not a requirement. The project focuses on African business and economics.

What happens if I'm not selected?

Strong applicants we can't place this time join our fellowship roster, and we get in touch when a project matches their skills.
