What Tanzanians Actually Want
Surveys, focus groups, buying-behaviour analysis, and distribution-channel mapping. Conducted in Swahili, delivered in English — so you make decisions on evidence, not assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What languages do you survey in?
Fieldwork is conducted in Swahili (and local languages where relevant) so respondents answer comfortably and honestly. Every deliverable — transcripts, charts, and the final report — is delivered in professional English.
How large a sample can you reach?
From a focused 50-response survey to several hundred responses across multiple regions. We recommend a sample size based on your decision and confidence needs, and confirm it in writing before fielding.
How long does a study take?
A quick survey typically takes 5–7 business days end to end. Focus groups and full mixed-method reports usually run 2–3 weeks depending on recruitment and the number of regions.
Can you reach rural as well as urban consumers?
Yes. We field studies in major cities such as Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Mwanza, and in rural districts. On-the-ground reach across regions is one of our core strengths.
Do I get the raw data?
On full report and survey projects you receive the cleaned raw dataset alongside the analysis, so your own team can dig deeper if needed. Everything is covered by an NDA signed before work begins.
