About
Us
Zouri builds the invisible infrastructure that makes economies work for everyone.
We strengthen the data systems, decision frameworks, incentives, and institutional capabilities that determine how workplaces function, how markets allocate resources, how communities withstand shocks, and how economies grow.
Grounded in rigorous evidence, we build the tools, standards, institutional capabilities that enable governments, enterprises, and ecosystem actors to engineer equity into their decision-making. Zouri builds frameworks, tools, and insights that help governments, donors, investors & practitioners design equitable economies.
MISSION
To strengthen the data, decision-making systems, and institutional capabilities that enable equitable, inclusive, and resilient economic outcomes-by design, not by exception.

Our Approach
Zouri operates as a systems-focused research, innovation & Technical assistance facility. We combine deep analytical rigour with practical, operational tools that institutions can adopt and scale. Our approach integrates:
-
Evidence & Analytics – generating research, diagnostics, and system maps that reveal structural barriers and economic opportunity.
-
Institutional Design & Standards – developing frameworks, scorecards, and operational models to embed equity into workplace, market, and community systems.
-
Capability Strengthening – building the technical, organisational, and leadership capacities required for institutions to deliver equitable outcomes.
-
Policy & Systems Influence – shaping the rules, incentives, financing logic, and norms that govern economic behaviour.
Zouri's Theory of Change
Zouri strengthens the underlying systems that shape economic opportunities—data, incentives, programme design, financing logic, and institutional capabilities. As these systems shift across workplaces, markets, and community structures, equitable economies emerge as a structural outcome, not a statistical anomaly.
