Our Mathematica Global launch in East Africa was more than just an event—it was a celebration of collaboration and impact, and it set the stage for deeper partnerships across East Africa. Here’s a snapshot of the energy, connections, and our vision for fostering sustainable, evidence-driven change in the region.

Last Tuesday, we had the privilege of hosting key players in the development sector at the Hyatt Regency Nairobi Westlands, for the official launch of Mathematica Global in East Africa. With Mathematica’s five decades of mission-driven work in monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning (MERL), this event highlighted our commitment to fostering sustainable, data-driven change in East Africa and our plans to collaborate, invest, and partner with organizations across the region to maximise impact. Event Highlights: 💡 A keynote address by Paul Decker, President & CEO, on why investing in Africa is pivotal to our vision. 💡 Networking with regional thought leaders and partners passionate about evidence-based change. 💡 Discussions on localisation, collaboration, and future projects to support communities across East Africa. To everyone who joined us, thank you for making this launch a memorable moment of connection and inspiration! We look forward to deeper partnerships and impactful collaborations.

🎙️ Exciting behind-the-scenes action from Nairobi, Kenya, where we recently shot episodes for Mathematica’s "On the Evidence" Podcast, a series that dives into critical topics in development and evidence-based decision-making. Day 1: We had the privilege of hosting Dr. Agnes Kalibata, President of AGRA, for an insightful conversation with Paul Decker, Mathematica’s CEO. Dr. Kalibata shared her perspectives on how AGRA is transforming agriculture in Africa, for farmers. Day 2: Our second day on set, brought another compelling conversation. We were honoured to host Jesse Moore, CEO of M-KOPA, who joined Paul Decker, to discuss M-KOPA’s groundbreaking work in empowering communities through innovative financial and digital solutions. Be sure to watch for the full episode dropping in 2025! Catch the series here: https://lnkd.in/eUVjrGk2
