The International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Population and their Health (INDEPTH) is a network that focuses on generating better health information for better health outcomes. Established in 1998 as a collaborative research program, the Network1 covers 18 countries in Africa and Asia through its 47 health and demographic surveillance sites of the 18 countries that host the sites’ infrastructure, 12 are located in Africa. The sites report on 3.8 million people continuously. The surveillance systems provide deep science-based data systems that hold the key to replication and scaling-up. The present paper contains the suggestion that it is possible to exploit the range of science that exists between official statistics and surveillance sites for the benefit of society, should there be a deliberate line of sight created between these systems. Previously, these systems did not share scientific outputs between them, even when they occupied the same geographic space. Nevertheless, the world would reap many benefits should a deliberate architecture be created that fosters an evolution of a science-based ecosystem of information.
