behind the data.
Some questions cannot be answered properly in one survey. Goloka helps you build and manage groups of consenting participants who can take part in research over time, allowing you to understand how behaviours, experiences and conditions change from one round to the next.

RecontactableWhy Goloka Panels
Stop rebuilding your sample from zero every round.
Repeated recruitment takes time and can make it hard to tell whether changes in your results come from the population itself or from speaking to a different group of people.
Panel-managed participants give you the same starting point. That can help you study change, test new questions and build a deeper picture of the people your programmes, product or policy affects.

Panels we manage
Panels We Can Build and Manage
From farmers and households to businesses, language communities and civic observers, we can build and manage permissioned cohorts around your research needs.
Household and Citizen Panels
People and households available for repeat community research.
SME and Business Panels
Owners and operators across sectors and business sizes.
Language Communities
Speakers with relevant linguistic and cultural context.
Civic Observer Networks
Locally situated observers for public-interest research.
Dedicated Programme Panels
Participants recruited around a specific programme or study.
More than a contact list
A panel only works when people have agreed to participate.
Having someone's contact details does not automatically make them a research panel member.
For every panel engagement, we identify who is eligible, explain what participation involves and obtain the appropriate consent for the study and any planned recontact.
We also manage the relationship over time, including participation history, research frequency and panel engagement.
Permission and trust are built into every panel.
How Goloka Panels work
You define who you want to understand. We help you build the relationship.
A single verification tells you what was observed on a particular day. Repeat verification can tell you whether an asset remained functional, whether a programme progressed or whether local conditions changed.
Get Started with GolokaYou define the population and the change you want to measure.
Tell us who you want to follow, where they are and how often you expect to contact them.
We check the available population.
We assess existing profiles and networks and determine whether the required participants are available or need to be recruited.
We recruit eligible participants.
We identify suitable participants and explain the research requirements to them.
We obtain the appropriate consent.
Participants agree to the research study and, where required, to being contacted again for future research rounds.
We manage each research wave.
We coordinate participation, monitor response behaviour and manage the practical challenges that come with repeated research.
You receive data that can be compared over time.
Where the methodology requires it, responses can be linked across research rounds without unnecessarily exposing participant identity.
Why longitudinal data matters
One answer tells you where someone is today. Repeated research tells you where they are going.
Repeated research reveals patterns, shifts and behaviours that one survey cannot show.
Questions clients commonly ask
What clients need to know before panels begins.
Goloka maintains permissioned networks and can also recruit a purpose-built panel where the required population, geography or profile is not already available.
Yes. We can define the recruitment criteria, consent model, participant profile and recontact process around your research programme.
Contact arrangements depend on the consent and governance model agreed for the panel. We design this clearly before recruitment begins.
Where the study requires it, we can design quotas and sampling around relevant population benchmarks, subject to feasibility and coverage.
