Vanguard Economics was founded in Kigali in 2015 as an advisory and research firm with the purpose to create a Rwanda-based firm that delivers high-quality socio-economic and strategy research services tailored to the Rwandan context. Based on the notion that “social change is not a project that one group of people carries out for the benefit of another”, our main strategic goal is to build the next generation of Rwandan researchers in our areas of expertise. Our clients include Governments, private firms, multilateral institutions, foundations, and NGOs. You will be joining a dynamic team of about 40 in-house staff with an average age of about 28 and 65% women. You will also be collaborating with numerous external experts and data collectors.
