KRD was established to give local and international organisations one dependable route to qualified research capacity, responsible field access and managed delivery in Kenya.
Research leadership
Led by Dr Job Mwaura.

Full leadership profile in preparationA fuller profile, institutional affiliations, selected publications and relevant project experience will be added after final review.
Operating model
Expertise is assembled around the assignment.
KRD does not present a contact list and leave the client to manage it. The desk remains responsible for the structure and quality of the engagement.
Build the team
We select qualified specialists according to subject fit, method, experience, availability and conflicts.
Manage delivery
KRD coordinates client communication, expert work, field activity, safeguards, records and milestones.
Review and deliver
Outputs are reviewed against the agreed questions, evidence standard, limitations and presentation requirements.
Institutional readiness
What is available—and what we are finalising.
We prefer transparent readiness statements to implying that every corporate document is already complete.
Engagement documentation
Written scope, deliverables, roles, milestones, quotation, confidentiality, conflicts and change control.
Team qualification review
Relevant degree threshold, subject and method fit, experience review and assignment-specific conflict declaration.
Capability statement
A concise institutional profile covering services, leadership, operating model, disciplines and engagement routes.
Policy and supplier pack
Consolidated safeguarding, data handling, anti-bribery, complaints and supplier-registration materials.
Representative experience
Evidence will be attributed carefully.
KRD is building its institutional portfolio. As assignments are completed, case studies will be published where client permission allows.
Experience held by the research lead or members of the expert network will be identified as individual or prior institutional experience—not presented as a KRD contract.
Selected leadership and network experience profiles: in preparation.
