About us

Our Work

We conduct surveys with young adults in Africa to learn about their journeys, dreams and goals. Our research enables us to better understand how their lives evolve over time, generating insights into the developments that shape the path of African youth.
Lives of the Ugandan youth
This project focuses on understanding the experiences of the Ugandan youth, including education, labor markets and their social lives.
Communities of the Ugandan youth
This project focuses on understanding the lives of parents, siblings, friends and communities of our respondents. How do they view their educational and labor market experiences, social lives and plans for the future?
Looking into the future
This project focuses on tracking the respondents over time. How does the lives of our respondents pan out over time, and how does it compare to their aspirations, expectations and plans they had before?
