Who We Are: Bobea Report

East Africa’s premier independent public opinion tracking, market research, and socio-economic intelligence institution.

Founded on a singular imperative—that the authentic perspective of everyday citizens must drive national dialogue—Bobea Report provides scientifically grounded, unbiased public opinion research across Kenya’s 47 counties and the broader East African region.

Unlike traditional polling organizations that rely heavily on phone surveys or urban smartphone panels, Bobea Report deploys a permanent network of multi-lingual field enumerators equipped with offline CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) digital tablets. This ensures uncompromised sampling across pastoralist, agrarian, informal sector, and rural sub-county populations often overlooked by mainstream studies.

Our research panel operates with absolute institutional independence. We accept zero political party sponsorships, ensuring every dataset published reflects true grassroots sentiment without editorial filtering or partisan narrative-building.
