Gaplink Uganda

Gaplink is a Ugandan research and development organization committed to making your field research and community interventions successful. We have a dedicated team of Ugandan field workers with expertise and experience in managing all kinds of field research and community development projects. Gaplink was founded on the basis of observed gaps in field resource management, data quality and field work supervision while supporting research firms in Uganda. At Gaplink, we are aware of the potential challenges an international researcher / implementing partner might face in planning and conducting field work in a foreign environment without reliable on ground support. We exist to bridge the gap between the foreign researcher /implementing partner and the local context. Our strong nationwide network of field experts make it possible for us to work with local bureaucracies to complete your field study within the stipulated budget and timeline. After over eight years of working with international researchers on projects of different scales and complexity, we understand the importance of local contribution in refining survey tools, creating field plans and budgets as well as ensuring effective use of field work resources. Inadequate local support can potentially compromise quality, make field work lengthy and costly, and in worst case scenarios can result in denial of access to the targeted population. At Gaplink, we aim at preventing interruptions to field work while ensuring effective resource management and the highest quality possible. We have supported several programs and researchers from institutions including Yale university and Paris School of Economics in handling many different kinds of research projects, from in-depth qualitative studies with a small number of respondents to randomized controlled trials, requiring standardized surveys with representative samples.
