APPLIED MARKET & SOCIAL RESEARCH ACROSS AFRICA
Research grounded in context.
Evidence built for action.
Emprica Consulting Ltd delivers applied Market & Social Research, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL), and Field Implementation across Africa. We combine rigorous methodology with local knowledge and practical field capability in complex and hard-to-reach environments.
WHO WE ARE
Research expertise. Local understanding.
Emprica is a boutique Market & Social Research agency headquartered in Kenya, with a registered branch in South Sudan, a permitted field office in Sudan, and field teams across East and Central Africa.
From its beginnings in Kenya, Emprica has grown into a regional research firm, expanding its capabilities and establishing a formal presence in South Sudan and Sudan. Our work connects research design, field implementation and analysis to the decisions our clients need to make.
WHAT WE DO
Evidence for programmes, markets and strategy.
Market & Social Research
Quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method research to understand markets, communities, behaviours and stakeholder perspectives.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL)
Baselines, evaluations, monitoring frameworks and learning studies that help organisations assess progress and adapt their programmes.
Field & Tab
Questionnaire programming, recruitment, data collection, field supervision, quality control, cleaning and tabulation for research teams.
Third-Party Monitoring & Independent Verification
Independent verification, field observations and programme monitoring, including locations where direct client access is difficult.
Climate Adaptation, Resilience & Disaster Risk Research
Research on climate adaptation, disaster risk, livelihoods and community resilience to inform programming and planning.
Strategic & Evidence Advisory
Evidence synthesis, stakeholder mapping and research-informed recommendations for strategy, policy and programme design.
FIELD CAPABILITY
Research that understands the field.
Reliable evidence depends on how research is implemented. Our field approach combines locally recruited teams, interviewer training, piloting, supervision and data quality checks, with logistics adapted to the operating context.
Our Field & Tab services support organisations commissioning complete studies and research partners who need local implementation capacity. Assignments can include questionnaire review, translation and back-translation, digital data collection, qualitative fieldwork and secure dataset delivery.
WHERE WE WORK
A regional footprint grounded in local capability.
Kenya
Our home market and headquarters, providing a foundation for research and field implementation across the region.
South Sudan
A registered branch supported by local field capability and experience implementing research in complex settings.
Sudan
A permitted field office in Port Sudan supporting context-sensitive research and field operations.
Beyond our formal footprint, we work through field teams and operational networks across East and Central Africa. Coverage and delivery arrangements are assessed for each assignment.
OUR APPROACH
Rigour from design to delivery.
We design research around the context, include the people whose experiences matter, and maintain ethical and quality standards throughout implementation. Our aim is to deliver findings that clients can use in programmes, policy and strategy.
