VAL!Data Research (Pvt) Ltd is a private consulting firm that was born out of repeated consultancy partnerships of like-minded seasoned research, community and organizational development consultants from various parts of Africa, Asia, United Kingdom (UK), Belgium and the United States of America (USA). The network of these research experts continues to expand around the nucleus of the founding members and associates as well as the company’s vision, mission, values and objectives.

In December 2019 a strategic decision was made to set up a common brand for an international private consultancy firm with national chapters in members’ countries, which would unify and institutionalize the operations of the partner consultants. Presently, therefore, VAL!Data Research is registered as a private limited company in Zimbabwe and Rwanda, with active Country Directors already in place and registering the company in Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and the United Kingdom.
