Why This

Matters

Whether you're shaping global health policy, assessing market opportunities, or conducting stakeholder consultations, you need primary data from communities that are difficult to reach. Getting quality responses from the right people across the Global Majority requires local trust, language access, and on-the-ground relationships.

Our journalists and verified experts are trusted, on-the-ground connectors who reach the people others can't, from policymakers and civil society leaders to consumers, business owners, and grassroots communities.

Case Study: Amref Health Africa

"We partnered with Egab to support a continent-wide global health reform consultation, with a specific focus on reaching stakeholders across North Africa. Within just two weeks, drawing on its strong network of local journalists and media partners, Egab successfully mobilised more than 200 high-quality survey responses from seven countries.

Their approach enabled us to reach a diverse and credible mix of respondents, including government officials, civil society, academics, youth, and women leaders across Arabic, English, and French contexts. Egab was professional, highly responsive, and deeply attuned to the regional and cultural nuances required for meaningful engagement. They delivered exactly what we needed under tight timelines, and I would confidently recommend them to organisations seeking to gather primary insights from hard-to-reach global majority communities."
