We are a research and consulting firm that helps organizations make better decisions. We use data to measure impact, forecast markets, and build effective strategies.

Meet the Founder

Cedric Mwesigwa

Cedric founded Sterling Contractors on a simple but powerful premise: high-stakes decisions should be driven by evidence, not just intuition. With a background in applied research and economics, he possesses a unique ability to bridge the gap between abstract theory and practical, real-world application.

He recognized that governments, NGOs, and corporations were often either drowning in data they couldn't interpret or making critical choices based on incomplete information. His expertise lies in translating complex research methods into clear, sellable solutions—whether it's a market analysis for a new product, an impact evaluation for a donor-funded program, or a strategic plan for growth. Cedric doesn't just offer consulting; he builds reproducible, auditable decision-making engines for his clients.
