About us
Bodhi Global Analysis is a specialist research firm that sits at the intersection of politics, conflict, gender, and development. From our hubs in London, Nairobi, and Singapore, we combine advanced theoretical expertise with on-the-ground insight to help donors, INGOs, and governments navigate complex environments. Our political economy and conflict analyses, gender and inclusion studies, and programme evaluations are all guided by one principle: where context meets evidence to deliver change. Every assignment is participatory, intersectional, and independent—producing knowledge that is both intellectually rigorous and immediately actionable for decision-makers.
Our Story
Bodhi Global Analysis was founded in London in 2017 with a commitment to raising the standard of research in international development through academic rigour and contextual understanding. In 2018, we established Bodhi Kenya Ltd in Nairobi, and in 2023, we launched our Asia subsidiary in Singapore—reflecting our growing footprint and deepening engagement across Africa and Asia. From a two-person team, Bodhi has grown into a firm of around 30 researchers, evaluators, and thematic specialists. We work at the intersection of politics, conflict, gender, and development—helping our partners navigate complex environments with evidence that is both methodologically robust and grounded in lived realities. Our services include political economy and conflict analyses, gender and inclusion research, situational assessments, and comprehensive programme evaluations. As we've expanded, so has our expertise. We now host dedicated Conflict and Peacebuilding and Gender and Inclusion teams, supported by cross-cutting Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) and climate specialists. What has remained constant is our mission: to generate context-sensitive insights that lead to more inclusive, effective, and sustainable change.
