We are currently pursuing funding opportunities for research related to the COVID-19 pandemic unfolding in East Africa. Areas of particular interest/expertise include:

• Education (assessing virtual learning and educational inequality)

• Poverty trap (assessing the impact of the pandemic on female-headed households living in informal settlements)

• Labor market (assessing the impact of the pandemic on employment opportunities amongst Kenya’s vulnerable youth)

Our preferred research methodology includes remote data collection through surveys and virtual key informant interviews, coupled with rigorous statistical analysis.
