Who we are

Background

Established in 1999, Vision Africa is a full-service marketing and stakeholder research company that employs scenario-appropriate quantitative and qualitative techniques to deliver accurate, prompt and insightful results within the African market.

We've built an enviable track record with clients and leading research agencies in sub-Saharan Africa, as an organization relied upon to deliver on its promises wherever we offer our services. A cornerstone of our corporate ethos is an unyielding commitment to satisfy our clients' time schedules, quality and budget, no matter how demanding or changing they might seem to be.

We provide extensive field services in Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and elsewhere in Africa to clients who conduct regular tracking studies in one or more countries in the region. We constantly explore new markets into which to develop and expand our core competencies.
People
The ability to meet the client's challenges in a creative, fast, and cost-effective manner depends greatly on the business and research skills and experience of our people. Vision Africa has built its successful track record on the competences and delivery of a broad range of willing and skilled Namibians.
We continue to invest in great people, ongoing training, appropriate technology and facilities, to be able to offer clients and fellow researchers the enthusiasm, drive and know-how of some of the most talented and capable professionals in the industry.

Empowerment through jobs

We believe in broad-based economic empowerment of previously disadvantaged Namibians on a basis of merit. Almost all of our subcontractors are previously disadvantaged individuals. Our greatest contribution to economic empowerment is providing jobs on a project-by-project basis.

The dynamic and energetic team

Vision Africa continues to build its skills and capabilities by attracting dynamic young professionals.

Multilingual field force

Vision Africa has a trained multilingual field force of more than 100 project-based interviewers in Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
