About us
We are a research and evaluation firm working in fragile and conflict-affected states across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Built on rigour, grounded in context
Bodhi started in 2017 when two researchers grew frustrated with development consultancies that treated conflict analysis and gender assessment as box-ticking exercises. We wanted to build a firm where PhD-level expertise was standard, where researchers spent weeks in the field rather than days, and where findings were not softened to please commissioners.
That approach won us work. By 2018, we had opened an office in Nairobi to support our expanding East Africa portfolio. In 2023, we established Bodhi Asia in Singapore to serve the ASEAN region. In 2025, we opened our Tanzania subsidiary in Dar es Salaam.
Today we employ around 20 staff across our London and Nairobi offices, supported by a network of approximately 300 national consultants across approximately 85 countries. Our project portfolio now includes over 180 completed assignments.
We are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certified. We are signatories to the Women's Empowerment Principles. Fifty percent of our ownership and senior leadership positions are held by women.
