At DUBliss, we merge academic rigor with real-world expertise to transform ideas into measurable, evidence-based impact. Our consultants and trainers hold PhDs and Master's degrees from leading African universities—Wits, UCT, and UKZN—and bring global experience in data science, epidemiology, monitoring & evaluation, and applied research. We help governments, NGOs, academic teams, and funders translate questions into robust study designs and policy-ready evidence.
DUBliss is a multidisciplinary consultancy and academy focused on strengthening research capacity across Africa through rigorous methodology, practical training and data-driven solutions.
We provide end-to-end research support: concept development, study design, ethics and protocol development, sampling and power calculations, data collection and quality assurance, advanced analysis, and publication support. Our team pairs academic expertise with extensive operational experience to ensure studies are both rigorous and feasible in African contexts.
We place a strong emphasis on local partnership, capacity strengthening and sustainability. That means working closely with local institutions, training junior researchers, and building tools that remain useful long after a project ends.
Our consultancy arm offers tailored services across the research lifecycle — from grant-ready proposals to data systems and impact evaluation.
Practical, hands-on courses designed to build research excellence — short professional courses, bespoke in-house training, and certificate programmes.
Training in study design, mixed-methods approaches, and scientific writing. Intensive modules include grant writing, ethics, and systematic review methods.
Practical M&E courses focus on indicator design, theory of change, data-to-decision systems, and results-based performance measurement for implementers and evaluators.
From reproducible analytics to machine learning model development — tailored modules for researchers who want to apply AI responsibly in health and social contexts.
Mentorship programmes, supervisor training and institution-level skill transfer to ensure sustainable research capabilities within organisations.
We design M&E systems that translate program activities into measurable outcomes. Our approach integrates data systems, indicator frameworks and rigorous evaluation methodologies.
Developing a clear theory of change links activities to measurable outcomes — a prerequisite for meaningful evaluation and donor reporting.
Robust baseline and endline designs aligned to outcomes — including sampling strategies and data-collection SOPs to ensure comparability and validity.
Interactive dashboards and automated indicators to support adaptive management and evidence-based decision-making by implementers and funders.
Images from fieldwork, training sessions and collaborative workshops — demonstrating our operational experience across African contexts.
