Ophir Research Analytics and Development (ORAD) is an independent research organization committed to bridging the gap between research, evidence, and real-world impact.
Driven by evidence and a commitment to impact, we transform data into practical solutions that inform policy, empower institutions, and improve lives.
“We offer the solution”
We believe that achieving sustainable development requires a clear understanding of the complex relationship between human capital, employment opportunities, access to resources, and the environment. Human capital shapes employment opportunities, which in turn influence poverty levels, access to energy, and how households and communities interact with the environment, ultimately impacting climate change.
Our human capital research is grounded in the belief that knowledge, skills, and competencies are central to sustainable development. While Sub-Saharan Africa has largely focused on human capital formation through education attainment, ORAD takes a holistic approach that addresses both formation and utilization.
We investigate poverty through rigorous data collection, spatial analysis, and multidimensional assessments to generate evidence for targeted interventions and policy decisions. Grounded in research, we design enterprise and livelihood programmes that equip vulnerable communities with skills, resources, and market connections to build sustainable incomes and reduce poverty.
We advance clean energy and climate resilience through data-driven research, digital tools, and community-centered solutions. Our work supports equitable energy access, climate adaptation, and sustainable development by helping policymakers, innovators, and vulnerable communities make informed decisions for long-term progress.
We deliver solutions that work. Get in touch with us today at info@orad.org
We support governments, institutions, and organizations with research, analytics, and tools that turn data into clear direction and effective policy solutions
We work at the intersection of data, research, and real-world challenges, helping organizations understand complex systems and design solutions that create measurable impact.
Our strength lies in combining rigorous research, advanced analytics, and practical application to turn insights into solutions that guide decisions and drive change.
