Research, when combined with policy analysis and documentation
forms one of the core functions at TAABCO. This is because the Company
exists to offer high quality consultancy services to clients, first
and foremost in the area of research, and second, in other varied
areas. Research is vital for increasing the Company's organizational
learning, and enhancing its efficiency and effectiveness of work.
Hence, the Research, Policy Analysis and Documentation Unit of TAABCO
has both a doer and support role. In the doer role, the Unit staff
undertakes regular and targeted research and policy analysis, and
documents these into research reports and other organizational outputs,
e.g., newsletters (for internal and external sharing). The latter
sharing is with the clients, partners, and wider public. The research
findings are meant to enhance policy decisions.
Documentation Center (DC)
The Documentation Centre consists
of a collection of reference materials. The collection includes,
among others, policy material, reports from Kenya, Africa and other
regions. The collection is not limited to any one subject. The aim
of the Center is to reflect the diversity of past and present policy
and other issues from within Africa and outside the region. The
objective of the Center is to make it documents easily accessible
to TAABCO's staff and researchers. The Center's other objective
is to build and upgrade TAABCO's human resources.
