About us

Blueprint Consortium Africa is Africa's Centre of Excellence for applied research, monitoring and evaluation, data science and analytics. The Consortium is headquartered in Kampala, Uganda. We bring together leading experts from government, academia, and the private sector to generate rigorous, actionable evidence that informs policy and decision-making across Uganda and the Continent.
What sets us apart is how we work. Rather than producing research in isolation and handing over reports to implementers, we co-design and co-produce evidence with the government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), development partners, and businesses based on their research needs. The findings are therefore relevant, owned by implementers, and immediately actionable.

Why Blueprint Consortium Africa

Evidence Co-Generation

We work with Government MDAs, the private sector, and development partners — not just for them. Because our research is co-produced, the findings are relevant, owned, and taken up to inform policy and decision-making.

Multidisciplinary Expertise

We bring together economists, statisticians, data scientists, public health specialists, social scientists, and engineers — ensuring every problem gets the right mix of expertise for a holistic solution.

Institutionalised Capacity

Through our TrainLab, we provide tailored capacity building in data analytics — designed around the specific needs of institutions and their teams.

OUR MISSION

To co-generate rigorous applied research and actionable evidence that informs policy and decision-making, while strengthening the data analytics capacity of organisations and individuals across Uganda and Africa.

VISION

Africa's leading centre of excellence for applied research and data analytics.
