An African hub, dedicated to foundational learning data, measurement, research, and capacity building
Data access
Address the current gap in accessible African foundational learning data.
Data curation
The hub seeks to create a comprehensive open-access repository of African foundational learning data to serve as a platform for African research, advocacy, and capacity building. It will host and link to diverse datasets from governments, regional organizations, international agencies, NGOs, and researchers, addressing the current gap in accessible African foundational learning data.
Data enhancement
Beyond data curation, the hub enhances usability of foundational learning data through enhancements such as harmonization across datasets and merging administrative and spatial data.
Open science and replicability
The hub supports open science through DataFirst’s research replication and reproducibility site for African scholars. In this way, the hub increase the visibility, transparency, and replicability of African foundational learning research.
