About OSIRC

Our team runs the fieldwork, not just the analysis.

Omocris Social Impact Research Centre operates at the intersection of research, policy, and practice. We offer research services and capacity building programs that inform public policy and improve development outcomes.

Our team brings together educators, social scientists, statisticians, and development specialists, supported by a trained network of field researchers and data collectors working across districts in Uganda.
