About Kana

Kana Strategies & Analytics is a data and research technology company focused on Africa.

We build Kanari Intelligence, a proprietary platform that brings together African economic data, agentic AI research, quantitative modeling, and financial analytics.

Kanari connects the full analytical process, from finding and verifying evidence to generating research, forecasting economic conditions, and examining the consequences of financial and economic shocks.

Behind the platform is a continuously developed foundation of structured data, original economic indices, and executable models. Research findings are supported by traceable sources, transparent calculations, and clearly stated assumptions.

Institutions access these capabilities through the Kanari research workspace, integrations with their own systems, or dedicated private environments. Specialist research and advisory complement the technology where institutional needs require them.

The evidence matters. So does what you can do with it.

Evidence must be traceable.

Research begins with reliable information. We build systems that connect analytical findings to their underlying sources, calculations, and assumptions.

African markets require local understanding.

Economic relationships differ across countries, institutions, and policy regimes. Our analytical systems are designed to reflect these differences rather than impose a single interpretation across markets.

Models must be open to challenge.

Forecasts and scenarios are not facts. Their assumptions, uncertainty, limitations, and historical performance should be available for examination.

Research should lead to deeper analysis.

Understanding what happened is the starting point. Our technology enables institutions to investigate why, examine what could happen next, and evaluate the potential consequences for their markets and operations.

Experienced leadership across business, economics, and institutions.
