About Nchiwise
Wise about nations
"Nchi" is Swahili for country. Nchiwise is a media company based in Nairobi, Kenya, that explains how countries develop and scale.
We make short, clear videos and explainers about the decisions, investments and turning points that shape a nation's future: economies, cities, infrastructure, trade and technology, told from an African point of view and backed by real data with named sources.
Discover. Understand. Explore.

Editorial policy
- Sources first. Every explainer links to the documents and data behind it, and shows when it was last updated.
- Corrections. When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so at the bottom of the page.
- Political neutrality. We explain processes and what each side proposes in their own documents. We do not endorse parties or candidates.
- Sponsorship. Sponsored content is always labelled. Sponsors do not see or change our conclusions.
