About Us

An advisory, do tank and context watch for East Africa

We generate evidence, build working tools and track changing conditions, so partners can decide and act early.

Who We Are

A regional advisory
and do tank

iKappal East Africa is a regional advisory, evidence, and delivery partner working at the intersection of markets, communities, data, and implementation. We operate across agriculture, agrifood systems, food security, nutrition, public health, climate resilience, market systems, and digital transformation.

We help partners understand complex challenges, generate reliable evidence, design practical solutions, and build systems that improve decisions and outcomes. Our field expert networks span all 47 counties in Kenya and extend into Uganda, Tanzania, and South Sudan — enabling rapid mobilisation, localised insight, and high-quality implementation.

We are a specialist partner built around evidence and delivery. As a Do Tank, we combine the rigour of an evidence house with the delivery instinct of an implementation partner. As a Context Watch, we track how markets, communities, and systems change, so our partners can act with confidence.
