DataCamp

DataCamp is an event focusing on data-related challenges, collection, production and utilisation. It is an opportunity to bring together the Africtivistes community in a country where data issues have not yet been raised. This is why Niger was chosen. It is one of the few countries in West Africa where citizen-led initiatives are virtually non-existent. There is no commitment, no involvement and no data-related projects. The DataCamp is intended to be a space for both training and production. The event culminates in the launch of an open data web portal with the participation of the local community. It is also an opportunity to establish an initial local network for open data.
