Researchlime History

Researchlime Limited is a private research company that specializes in providing market research services and logistical assistance to organizations targeting the Ghanaian market. With over 100 +  active field officers across the country at every given point in time, we work closely with known consultancy firms, NGOs and government Institutions on research assignments.  Since 2012, Researchlime has been providing market research services for recognized private consultants and organizations in Ghana on major projects. We focus mainly on assisting these consultants on the field with logistical arrangements, undertaking both qualitative and quantitative field data collection, designing data collection tools, engaging in community entry and recruiting field officers for projects. We have been involved in major project for clients such as UNICEF,USAID, MTN, Skyfox, KINAJ, WaterAid, GNWP, Promasidor, SafeWater Network, Media Monitoring Service Ghana, PFAG, GTLC, Akvo and many other international and local organizations.

Based in the capital of Ghana; Greater Accra, our regional associates in all the 16 regions acquired through our involvement in  several projects and our conscious effort to build a remote team of field researchers across the  country enables us to easily assist  organizations with practical  field  activities  such  as  identifying  the   right  contacts  for  community engagement, interviews and mobilization of resources, connecting with the right stakeholders at the national, regional, district and community level, recruiting  experienced field officers and respondents for projects,  undertaking field data collection, arranging project logistics especial  for remote  communities, and conducting field trainings among others. Our competitive advantage lies in our local network of contacts and our organizational ability to using modern technological devices in gathering and streamlining field activities for our clients. Our clients are able to monitor the field activities at the comfort of their offices during our fieldwork using real time data synchronizing platforms on their laptop. We deploy several data collection tools depending on the needs of our clients.

Partnerships and Associates

Researchlime Ltd has formed a number of business partnerships  and  alliances  with  known  firms  and  consultants across the country. These firms and consultants serve as clients to Researchlime and also engage our services to undertake their own field activities on sub-contractual bases.  They  also  serve  as our sources  of information  on  projects,  references  and business contacts,  enabling  us  to  swiftly  undertake  assignments  for  our clients without difficulty. Some of the companies we still work closely with include: GNBCC (Ghana Netherlands Business and Cultural Council), Dutch Embassy in Accra, NWP (Netherlands Water Partnership), Institutional Research Ghana Limited, KINAJ, Skyfox Ltd, Infotrak, Geopoll, WSUP, Skyfox and Media Monitoring Services Ltd (MMS). We also work with individual associates and experts in their respective fields.

Our Aim

Our aim is to create a reliable local firm that international organizations can reliably depend on for credible field data services, field monitoring and logistical arrangement in Ghana, especially when it comes to business data and within the remote areas across Ghana. Our strategy is to operate actively at the grass root level and ensuring quality and quick mobilizations of skill officers for research services.

Our Team

Apart from our core team that is made up of a statisticians, a researchers, IT & Mobile Application Specialists, our strengths lies in our network of nationwide field researchers and contacts at the various district and community levels. Due to the number of projects we have engaged in over the years, we have been able to built an active and trusted network of field officers in all the 16 regions of Ghana and in each district to easily participate in research assignments. We have regional team leads that are able to easily mobilize known officers for each assignment. We track and monitor their performance and this enables them to participate in future assignments.  Those who work with use are mostly:

  • District officers: These are people who are staying and working within the various communities in each district of Ghana. We engage these officers on contractual bases when we need to enter a community.
  • Graduates students; we also engage graduate students who live within some specific communities. These are people who understand the languages, able to write and translate responses into English.
  • Regular students: We also have regular students who take part in our field activities when there are on holidays and will like to experience working life.

We employ mostly mobile and web technologies in our activities.  Cloud storage servers are configured to accept and store field data from several regions/communities into a central database, which is accessible by us and by our client, data is received and analyzed in real time and shared with client. This data is secured and accessible only through access rights authentication.
