East Africa’s Leading Economic Think Tank: Shaping Policy. Driving Impact

Overview

Point Blank Analytics is an independent policy research and analysis institution focused on economic governance, public policy, and structural transformation in Kenya and the broader African context. We exist to bridge the gap between technical economic research and public understanding of policy decisions that shape livelihoods, markets, and institutions.

Our Purpose

Public policy increasingly determines economic opportunity, yet much of it remains fragmented, technical, or inaccessible to the public. Point Blank Analytics seeks to:

• Translate complex policy issues into clear analytical insights
• Provide evidence-based commentary on economic and governance trends
• Support informed public debate on fiscal, agricultural, and development policy

Our Approach

Our work is grounded in:

• Empirical economic reasoning
• Policy evaluation frameworks
• Institutional and governance analysis
• Data-informed interpretation of public decisions

We prioritize analytical clarity, methodological discipline, and independence of thought.

Focus Areas

Our research and commentary span:

• Fiscal and tax policy
• Agricultural and value chain economics (with emphasis on tea and cash crops)
• Public finance and governance
• Labour markets and youth employment
• Institutional reform and development policy

Our Output

We publish in structured formats including:

Independence
