Civic actors across Africa use open data to drive growth, unburden bureaucracy, build innovative solutions to tough problems, and improve lives. An open approach allows others across the continent and across the world to use and adapt these ideas. This session will showcase great solutions, demonstrate the shared value of open data for public and private sector, and strengthen networks that convene current and new open data enthusiasts for Africa.
Examples of advancements in Africa that use open data or would benefit from the improvement in quality and availability of open data and that have similar initiatives in other sectors or countries, or that have solved the problem of silos and have scaled across. How civic tech actors with shared goals connect, and what can improve from quality of the data and documentation, technical capability of individuals, or quality of a networks and community building for organizations to connect. What are the priorities of Francophone Africa & what should be on the agenda and who must participate in a small workshop & larger civic tech event for Francophone Africa?
