Deliver rigorous, field-verified data that institutions can act on with confidence.
We design and run the collection, quality-control, and analysis systems that turn a research question into a defensible answer — on time, at scale, in the field.

Independent esearch & Data Intelligence Across Africa
From policy to development, every impactful decision starts with reliable data and evidence-based insights.
Since 1992, Stat View International has gone where the evidence lives — into households, health centers, farms, and communities across 14 African countries — so that governments, institutions, and investors can act on what's true, not what's assumed.

Who we are
An African firm built for evidence, not opinion.
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in West Africa, Stat View International has spent over three decades building the data infrastructure behind public policy across six African countries: from national surveys and impact evaluations to GIS mapping and digital dashboards. We exist to make sure decisions — in government, in development, in the private sector — are made on evidence that will hold up to scrutiny.
An Africa where every major decision is backed by local, credible data.
We want African-generated evidence — not imported assumptions — driving the policies and investments that shape the continent's development.
Independence, rigor, and proximity to the communities we study.
No client relationship outweighs data integrity. We work close to the ground, with enumerators and analysts who understand the context they're measuring.

CTG Simandou Service Configuration Study
The CTG Simandou Rail Service Configuration Study was undertaken to define the optimal configuration of the future passenger and freight rail services to be operated by the Compagnie du TransGuinéen (CTG) along the strategic Forécariah–Beyla corridor in Guinea. The study forms part of the Simandou 2040 Programme, one of Africa's largest integrated mining, transport, and economic development initiatives.
The assignment was jointly commissioned by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Guinea, the Simandou Strategic Committee, Compagnie du TransGuinéen (CTG) as the project owner and funding agency, and ERGO Strategy Group, which provided technical guidance and overall study supervision. Stat View International (SVI) was responsible for designing and implementing all field data collection activities.
Impact: Data now underpins the design and long-term planning of Guinea's future public rail service along the Simandou corridor

Beneficiary Satisfaction and Socio-Economic Impact Evaluation of PAAEG 1
This study assessed beneficiary satisfaction and the socio-economic impacts of the Guinea Electricity Access Improvement Project (PAAEG I), financed by the World Bank and implemented through the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Hydrocarbons, the Guinea Electricity Access Improvement Project (PIEGM), and the Rural Electrification Agency (AGER).
Stat View International designed and implemented a mixed-method evaluation combining quantitative and qualitative methods to measure improvements in electricity access, service quality, and household well-being. The assessment covered 1,200 households and businesses across 10 intervention sites, complemented by 10 focus group discussions and 5 key informant interviews with institutional and community stakeholders.
Impact: Evidence now informs the design and targeting of PAAEG II, guiding future investments in electricity access, service reliability, customer satisfaction, and social safeguards.

PA-AGR Knowledge Capitalization Study
This study capitalized on the experiences and results of the Income-Generating Activities Support Programme (PA-AGR) implemented by CECI and funded by the Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG) across the mining prefectures of Boké, Gaoual, and Télimélé.
Stat View International conducted a comprehensive mixed-methods assessment combining a survey of 109 beneficiaries, 7 focus group discussions, 5 key informant interviews, 3 in-depth case studies, and an extensive review of programme documentation covering both the pilot phase (2017–2021) and the consolidation phase (2023–2025). The study assessed the programme's contribution to economic empowerment, access to finance, entrepreneurship, local value chain development, governance, and poverty reduction, while identifying lessons learned and recommendations to strengthen future livelihood interventions.
Impact: Evidence now informs the design of future livelihood and economic empowerment programmes, strengthening community resilience and inclusive local development in Guinea's mining regions.

Socio-Economic Impact Study of Digital Connectivity (Fiber Optic) in Faranah
This study assessed the potential socio-economic impacts of fiber optic connectivity in the Prefecture of Faranah, with a focus on the urban commune of Faranah and the peri-urban area of Modia. Commissioned by Rio Tinto Guinea with technical support from ERGO Strategy Group, Stat View International (SVI) was responsible for designing and implementing the fieldwork. The study evaluated current Internet access, digital connectivity challenges, and stakeholder expectations to provide an evidence base for future digital infrastructure investments.
SVI deployed a mixed-methods approach combining a household survey (260 households), surveys of 103 formal and informal businesses and 50 public institutions, 11 key informant interviews with local authorities, and 4 focus group discussions involving women, men, and youth representatives from community organizations.
Impact: Data now underpins future fiber optic investment and digital connectivity planning in the Faranah region.
