About Fraym

Fraym generates precise socioeconomic and behavioral insights for people at any geographic level, including down to the town or village level. Organizations around the world use our location-based data to understand social and economic dynamics, design comprehensive programs, and monitor and evaluate investments that national statistics and polling data cannot reveal. Fraym has developed replicable and highly scalable methods for producing actionable and comparable data across any geography of interest. Driven by our work with partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, World Bank, African Development Bank, UNDP, and other global institutions, we now produce and deliver critical novel datasets for key policy and advocacy issues.
