Independent Research & Data Intelligence Across Africa
Since 1992, Stat View International has gone where the evidence lives — into households, health centers, farms, and communities across 14 African countries — so that governments, institutions, and investors can act on what's true, not what's assumed.

Who we are
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa, Stat View International has over three decades of experience generating reliable evidence to support decision-making across Africa. Through national surveys, impact evaluations, data analytics, GIS solutions and digital intelligence platforms, we help governments, development partners, and private sector organizations better understand realities on the ground and design effective strategies. Our mission is to ensure that critical decisions are guided by credible, independent and field-validated data that withstands rigorous analysis and delivers measurable impact.
We design and implement robust research systems from data collection and quality assurance to advanced analysis, transforming complex questions into credible evidence and strategic solutions, delivered on time and at scale across the field.
Through rigorous research, innovative data systems, and deep field expertise, we provide reliable insights that support governance, development, and strategic decision-making across Africa.
By working closely with communities and relying on experienced local teams, researchers, and data specialists, we capture accurate realities and transform them into trusted evidence that supports meaningful decisions.

The CTG Simandou Rail Service Configuration Study was undertaken to define the optimal configuration of the future passenger and freight rail services to be operated by the Compagnie du TransGuinéen (CTG) along the strategic Forécariah–Beyla corridor in Guinea. The study forms part of the Simandou 2040 Programme, one of Africa's largest integrated mining, transport, and economic development initiatives.
The assignment was jointly commissioned by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Guinea, the Simandou Strategic Committee, Compagnie du TransGuinéen (CTG) as the project owner and funding agency, and ERGO Strategy Group, which provided technical guidance and overall study supervision. Stat View International (SVI) was responsible for designing and implementing all field data collection activities.
Impact: Data now underpins the design and long-term planning of Guinea's future public rail service along the Simandou corridor

This study assessed beneficiary satisfaction and the socio-economic impacts of the Guinea Electricity Access Improvement Project (PAAEG I), financed by the World Bank and implemented through the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Hydrocarbons, the Guinea Electricity Access Improvement Project (PIEGM), and the Rural Electrification Agency (AGER).
Stat View International designed and implemented a mixed-method evaluation combining quantitative and qualitative methods to measure improvements in electricity access, service quality, and household well-being. The assessment covered 1,200 households and businesses across 10 intervention sites, complemented by 10 focus group discussions and 5 key informant interviews with institutional and community stakeholders.
Impact: Evidence now informs the design and targeting of PAAEG II, guiding future investments in electricity access, service reliability, customer satisfaction, and social safeguards.

This study capitalized on the experiences and results of the Income-Generating Activities Support Programme (PA-AGR) implemented by CECI and funded by the Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG) across the mining prefectures of Boké, Gaoual, and Télimélé.
Stat View International conducted a comprehensive mixed-methods assessment combining a survey of 109 beneficiaries, 7 focus group discussions, 5 key informant interviews, 3 in-depth case studies, and an extensive review of programme documentation covering both the pilot phase (2017–2021) and the consolidation phase (2023–2025). The study assessed the programme's contribution to economic empowerment, access to finance, entrepreneurship, local value chain development, governance, and poverty reduction, while identifying lessons learned and recommendations to strengthen future livelihood interventions.
Impact: Evidence now informs the design of future livelihood and economic empowerment programmes, strengthening community resilience and inclusive local development in Guinea's mining regions.

This study assessed the potential socio-economic impacts of fiber optic connectivity in the Prefecture of Faranah, with a focus on the urban commune of Faranah and the peri-urban area of Modia. Commissioned by Rio Tinto Guinea with technical support from ERGO Strategy Group, Stat View International (SVI) was responsible for designing and implementing the fieldwork. The study evaluated current Internet access, digital connectivity challenges, and stakeholder expectations to provide an evidence base for future digital infrastructure investments.
SVI deployed a mixed-methods approach combining a household survey (260 households), surveys of 103 formal and informal businesses and 50 public institutions, 11 key informant interviews with local authorities, and 4 focus group discussions involving women, men, and youth representatives from community organizations.
Impact: Data now underpins future fiber optic investment and digital connectivity planning in the Faranah region.
