A study that never reaches a decision is wasted. So is a rollout that was never measured. Research, regulation and project control have to move together.

audience, perception and market insight
03Technology
ICT programmes and digital delivery
04Public sector
ministries, PPADB and universal access
05Banking

schools, UASF and last-mile access
If we cannot help, we will say so.
See our servicesFrom brief to operations.
01Frame
We agree the decision the work has to support — the board paper, the licence note, the budget line — before anything goes to field.
02Field
Surveys, focus groups and site visits on the ground in Botswana — including the rural and informal households a desk sample drops.
03Model
Forecasts, weights and queue models, with the assumptions written in plain language a board or ministry can test.
04Hand over
We close the work so the operating team can own the result — with the evidence pack for audit.
Five practices. One brief.
Strategy and operating models, research and advisory, market research, project management, and statistics. Every engagement starts with the same question: what decision does the work have to support?
Trusted where the work has to land.
Regulators, infrastructure builders and public programmes in Botswana — where research, regulation and delivery meet the ground.

04 notes
We finish the work we take on.
The same standard on every assignment — a ministry, an operator or a fund.
We report what the evidence shows, including when it is not what the brief hoped for.
Our purpose is to facilitate our partners and clients to change the world, one day at a time.

Notes from the field.
ResearchThe State of Internet Penetration in Botswana: A 2026 Snapshot
Botswana has quietly become one of the more connected countries in Southern Africa. Behind the headline numbers, though, is a story of uneven progress — a country where mobile connections outnumber people, but where the divide between Gaborone and the villages of the Kalahari still shapes who actually gets online.

Anything else, ask us directly — that is what the first conversation is for.
Gaborone. The practice is centred there, with a collaborator network across Zambia, Kenya, Nigeria, the UK and the USA.
Yes. We are PPADB recognised under Code 311 for Project Management and Other Consultancy Services, and we run programmes with Prince2-oriented governance.
Telecom, media and technology is one practice. We also work with the public sector, banking, retail, infrastructure and connectivity programmes.
It has to. Our samples and site visits include the rural and informal households that a desk sample usually drops — the last mile is where the result is decided.
You tell us the work. We come back with a time to talk, a proposed scope, or an honest no.
Open roles appear on our careers page when we are hiring. We also keep a small bench of researchers, statisticians and project managers we want to work with.
