An African hub, dedicated to foundational learning data, measurement, research, and capacity building

Our mission

Our mission is to enhance quality and capacity across the full data life cycle from collection to impact. We do this through a range of activities in four inter-connected areas:

What is the hub?

The hub consolidates, enhances, and supports the utilization of foundational learning data to drive evidence-based advocacy, policymaking, research, and capacity-building across Africa.

Our goals

• create an African hub of foundational learning data and expertise in methods, measurement, data quality and comparability
• empower African organizations and ministries to utilize such data for evidence-based advocacy and policymaking
• support an African research agenda by expanding and capacitating the group of researchers working on foundational learning.

The hub is hosted at DataFirst, the only internationally accredited open data repository on the African continent.
