Thrivbold is a consultancy firm based in Nairobi, Kenya, working across African countries and the Global South.

We partner with donors, INGOs, governments, and regional actors on a specific problem: the gap between gender policy and gender practice. 
Most programmes commit to gender equality at the design stage. Far fewer can demonstrate, at the outcome stage, that power relations actually changed. We work in that gap — designing the evaluations, frameworks, and advisory processes that make the difference visible.

Our practice spans feminist monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL); gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) advisory; gender-responsive programme evaluation; food systems and climate-gender research; and organisational gender mainstreaming. We work in English and French, across Anglophone and Francophone African contexts, with deep experience in East Africa, West Africa, the Sahel, and DRC.

We treat gender as an analytical lens — one that interrogates who holds decision-making authority, who controls resources, and who benefits when a programme claims success.

Thrivbold is women-led, Africa-based, and bilingual. In a field still dominated by northern consultancy firms, that combination is rare. It is also, increasingly, what the work requires.
