The Namvela
approach to
insights and
growth
We apply a highly collaborative approach to facilitating projects with our clients, using best in class methodologies and specialised consultants under the Namvela umbrella. We have a wide ranging local network of data collectors who we mobilise as needed across Southern and East Africa. We are able to support clients from research inception and crafting of research questions, through to ethical submissions, data collection, analysis and dissemination, including publication in peer-reviewed journals.
​
We work as a learning partner to several of our clients, designing end to end research, monitoring and evaluation strategies, systems and processes.
We also have affiliations with a number of academic institutions, enabling us to support clients with publishing research and evidence as well as extensive experience with IRB submissions to support research with vulnerable populations.
