We are a research & advisory firm based in Kigali, Rwanda. Our work is focused on maximising the impact private sector development, trade & logistics, and the commercialisation of agriculture can have on delivering transformation for markets and populations across Africa.
Established in 2015, Vanguard Economics delivers top-tier research, advisory and implementation services for Africa from within Africa.
Our Vision
A future where populations shape their own destiny
Our Mission
Identify, design and implement homegrown solutions to the challenges populations face on their path to sustainable and inclusive prosperity.
Our Team
Vanguard Economics was founded on the understanding that “social change is not a project that one group of people carries out for the benefit of another”. Our vision is that that every population exercises its right and responsibility to mark out the path of its own progress as an imperative to addressing the pervasive social injustice and poverty that exists across societies. We try and embody this vision through our company policies which designed to nurture the next generation of Rwandan thinkers and leaders.
