—/Geographic focus
Where we work.
Our primary operating base is the Kenyan coast — Lamu, Tana River and the wider LAPSSET corridor — with active research interest in the arid and semi-arid counties of northern Kenya. We take regional and continental assignments, and maintain research links with institutions in China through our founder’s academic network.
Field teams are recruited and trained in the counties where the work happens. Where an assignment falls outside our operating base, we say so at proposal stage and cost the logistics honestly rather than absorbing them into a day rate.

Not sure which of these you are?
It matters less than the question you are bringing. Describe the problem and the right shape of engagement will become obvious — or it will become obvious that you do not need one.
