'To give Agency is to create capacity within individuals so that they may act independently and make their own free choices. In psychology, agency implies the ability of the agent to perceive and change the environment and achieve their intended goals through actions' Head, Scientific Research Operations
Our Meaning
At the Agency Dr, we empower organisations to act with clarity, responsibility, and purpose. We believe that the philosophy of agency is strengthened when decisions are guided by reliable evidence. That’s why we specialise in delivering research services that help organisations understand their stakeholders, measure impact, and make informed choices.
Our Story
Founded in the UK, with a regional office in South Africa, the Agency Dr. began as a niche organisation focused on clinical capacity support. Over time, we recognised that the same principles of agency and empowerment could be extended to research services for organisations, NGOs, and charities.
Our journey started with supporting clinicians in Sub‑Saharan Africa, but has since evolved into helping organisations worldwide bridge gaps in knowledge and infrastructure. Today, we deliver multi‑modal research solutions, ensuring that every project benefits from comprehensive, reliable, and context‑appropriate data collection.
Our Mission
Our mission is to transform theory into reality by providing high‑quality research services that empower organisations to make evidence‑based decisions. With over 30 years of combined operational and research experience, we support the research community in achieving its strategic goals through data‑driven insights.
Our Goal
Our primary objective is to help organisations access world‑class research services that are both reliable and adaptable. Regardless of the methodology, we ensure that every project is designed to capture meaningful insights, strengthen organisational agency, and drive measurable impact.
