Mwelekeo Insights has taken a new step in reaching Kenyans by launching Mwelekeo TV, a podcast designed to share research findings and spark important conversations.
The organization has been recognized for its role in collecting and analyzing public opinion, making sense of how Kenyans view politics, governance, the economy, and culture.
Through Mwelekeo TV, these insights are now being shared in a way that is simple, accessible, and meant for everyday people, not just experts.
The first episode introduces the story of Mwelekeo Insights, explaining why the think tank was founded and what motivates its work. It highlights the importance of independent research in a country as diverse as Kenya, where opinions differ across regions, age groups, and communities.
Through using scientific methods to collect public views, Mwelekeo Insights provides information that is not only factual but also reflective of the lived experiences of Kenyans. This approach ensures that discussions around national issues are grounded in real perspectives rather than speculation or political bias.
The podcast also emphasizes the value of dialogue. According to Mwelekeo Insights, the goal is not only to present numbers and reports but also to encourage conversations that matter.
In a fast-changing society, quick headlines often overlook deeper issues, and this is where evidence-based insights step in.
Transforming data into relatable stories, the podcast helps people connect research with their daily lives. This makes it easier for leaders and citizens alike to make informed decisions.
Some of the examples featured in the first episode include studies on social and cultural issues. One survey showed that only 29 percent of young women in Nairobi between the ages of 18 and 30 considered marriage a key life goal, highlighting shifting priorities among the youth.
Another study focused on bride price traditions, with many young men suggesting new approaches such as shared financial planning instead of the customary payments.
These findings show how cultural norms are changing, and the podcast uses them as a starting point for wider public conversations.
Mwelekeo TV is hosted on YouTube, making it easy for anyone with internet access to watch and learn. The channel is expected to feature both short clips and full episodes, covering different topics from social media behavior to economic challenges.
In doing so, it provides an ongoing platform where Kenyans can access independent research without struggling to interpret complex reports.
The aim is to make every episode both informative and engaging.
Although other think tanks in Kenya also contribute to policy discussions, Mwelekeo Insights stands out because of its strong focus on public opinion and its efforts to make research widely available.
Their reports and surveys are designed to reach not just policymakers but also the ordinary Kenyan who wants to understand what is happening around them.
The launch of Mwelekeo TV comes at a time when reliable information is essential for building trust and shaping the future.
Listening to the podcast, viewers are not just consuming data, they are becoming part of a larger conversation about the country’s direction.
This new platform is a reminder that knowledge and dialogue can help bring people together, offering clarity in times of change and opening doors for more inclusive decision-making.
