About Caelus Institute
Knowledge for
public power.
Caelus is an independent, nonpartisan institute for public-interest polling, applied research and civic dialogue.
We make evidence useful in public life.
Too much public debate moves faster than the evidence. Caelus exists to slow down the important questions, measure what citizens actually experience and create forums where findings can be examined openly.
Our work begins in Kenya and is grounded in African realities, African perspectives and the universal value of trustworthy evidence.
Our purpose
An institution the public can question—and trust.
Evidence-led
We test assumptions through data, research and direct public experience.
Accessible
The public should not need specialist language to understand work done in its interest.
African in perspective
Our work is rooted in context, attentive to difference and connected to wider continental questions.
