Problems We Wish To Solve

These are some of the problems we have discovered and we wish to create solutions to all of these problems.

Limited Access to Quality Data for Decision-Making

Many organizations, including government bodies, SMEs, and NGOs, struggle to access reliable data and research to inform their decision-making processes. This results in inefficient strategies, poor project outcomes, and missed opportunities for growth.

Lack of Expertise in Project Evaluation & Impact Assessment

Many development projects in Zambia, both government and donor-funded, lack the necessary expertise to properly monitor, evaluate, and assess the impact of their initiatives. This often leads to poorly managed projects with unclear results.

Many organizations, especially SMEs and NGOs around African often lack the knowledge and skills required to effectively plan and execute long-term strategies. This results in disjointed operations, missed growth opportunities, and financial instability.
