About us

We focus on a wide range of contexts, having conducted extensive political economy analysis, conflict analysis, research and evaluations in urban and rural locations across Sub-Saharan, West and North Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The peacebuilding, humanitarian and development landscape is changing with increased focus on locally-led action, and we work with affected communities and civil society to reflect their experience and needs to our clients as these complex dynamics are negotiated.

Our Story

Bodhi Global Analysis was born out of a recognition that effective development programming required compelling evidence, and that there was a need for objective dispassionate research that went beyond pushing agendas, ticking boxes or fitting within preconceived frameworks. Thus, with the aim of injecting academic rigour into the research informing development policy and practice, Bodhi Global Analysis Ltd was incorporated in London in August 2017, followed by the establishment of a subsidiary in Nairobi in 2018.

Meet the team.

We are a growing team of global experts, based predominantly in Kenya and the UK with national consultants in countries including Ethiopia, Iraq, Somalia and Tanzania. Our particular focus is on producing highly specific PEA and conflict analysis of cities, sectors, and issues and rural and urban contexts. We have significant expertise in gender and inclusion, localisation and triple-nexus programming.
