What we carry
What we carry on your behalf
A focused set of capabilities — performed in-country, by a team that lives where the research happens. Read the full list of research execution services.
Community engagement
We introduce studies to local leaders, health workers, and households before recruitment begins. Engagement is paced to the community, not to a deadline.
Qualitative research
In-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant work conducted in English, Luganda, Swahili, and other Ugandan languages. Transcripts are translated with cultural fidelity.
Our work in place
Research that meets people where they live.
Our fieldwork happens in households, clinics, markets, and village halls — wherever the study brings us. We do not parachute in. The same team you brief in Kampala is the team that walks into the community.
That continuity matters. Trust is the difference between a study that finishes on time and a study that finishes well.

Common questions
Frequently asked
- What does Afriscope Health Research do?
- Afriscope Health Research is a Kampala-based organization that carries out the in-country execution of health research studies on behalf of universities, NGOs, and study sponsors. Our work covers field data collection, community engagement and recruitment, qualitative research support, survey logistics and operations, translation and cultural adaptation, and local coordination.
- Where does Afriscope operate?
- We are rooted in Kampala, Uganda, and conduct fieldwork across Uganda and the wider East Africa region. Our reach is grounded in local relationships rather than parachute teams flown in for a single study.
- Is Afriscope a CRO?
- We sit beside commercial CROs rather than inside their category. Afriscope is a Ugandan limited company that partners with researchers to carry out fieldwork with protocol fidelity and community care. We frame ourselves as a research partner, not a sales-led contract research vendor.
- Who can engage Afriscope?
- Universities, non-governmental organizations, ministries of health, foundations, and independent investigators who need a trusted in-country team to execute a health research study. We are most useful when a study calls for community-engaged research that respects the people it studies.

Principles
Quietly rigorous. Community first.
Every study Afriscope carries is shaped by five principles — community first, protocol fidelity, transparent reporting, local rootedness, and ethical stewardship. We work in the same towns and districts our families live in, and we measure our work by the way we leave the communities we study. Read more about who we are or our methodology principles.
