Accra launch of the Africa data revolution report

Abstract

The inaugural edition of the Africa Data Revolution Report (ADRR 2016) will be launched as part of activities marking the 2nd Africa Open Data Conference. ADRR is a biennial report that maps the data ecosystem in Africa with reference to the production, distribution and use of data by public, private and civil society actors, as they relate to the 17 SDGs. The launch will be marked by a panel discussion with focus on the report’s findings and ways of translating them into actions; assess the status of data revolution in Africa; identify challenges; and how to leverage open data for Africa data revolution.
