ABOUT GENESIS: 

Genesis Analytics, an impact firm headquartered in Africa, has worked in 52 African countries and more than 115 countries globally. Uniquely, Genesis is focused on the Young World – the arc of countries with young populations stretching across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia. 

In a world undergoing convulsive technological and political change, Genesis partners with key actors to deliver urgent, lasting impact in critical areas. These are three ways in which Genesis works differently:

• We combine global reach and country depth. More than 80% of our staff live in our impact countries, and bring deep knowledge and networks to bear on our work. Change happens at a local level, but needs to be informed by global experience.
• We work proactively. We identify transformative opportunities to unlock social value. Then we cooperate to marshal the funding, technology and alignment required.
• We blend human engagement and technology to overcome barriers and achieve scale. We have a proven ability to build coalitions for change, find joint solutions, and sustain peer-to-peer learning. Our engagement processes are backed by on-point analytics utilising sophisticated primary data capabilities that we have inside Genesis.

We have expertise in diverse fields such as behavioural sciences; competition economics and regulation; climate finance and economics; the digital economy and regulation; economic impact assessment; financial services strategy; gender human development; monitoring, evaluation and learning; public health and financing; shared value and corporate impact; and youth employment. Some of our best work has been through combining our complementary areas of expertise to find fresh solutions.

Genesis is expanding at a rapid rate, and we welcome new talent into our firm.
