Background

Vanguard Research & Advisory Services (VRAS Ltd) is the Ugandan arm of Vanguard Economics Ltd, a dynamic consultancy firm specialised in locally led socio-economic research and advisory services, data collection and management, project implementation and innovation and incubation across East Africa. We partner with private sector companies, bilateral and multilateral donors, non-profit organisations, philanthropies and governments to design and deliver evidence -based products, projects and policies that respond to the region’s unique challenges and opportunities.

Our work spans a broad range of sectors, including food systems, manufacturing, finance, climate, education, trade and health, in pursuit of private sector development, agricultural transformation, trade facilitation, job creation and skills enhancement. We strongly support improved nutrition outcomes, youth empowerment, gender and social inclusion, and climate adaptation and mitigation.

As part of our ongoing expansion in Uganda, we are building a database of qualified consultants to support current and future assignments on a need basis.

Applicants are required to state their daily consultancy rates of remuneration in Uganda Shillings (UGX), inclusive of all applicable taxes, for consideration during future assignments.
