Our purpose

Governments, through public-private partnerships, can collect a wide variety of data through all the services and roles it plays in society. Unlocking the power of this data requires strategies, regulations but also trained civil servants to properly execute and act on it. 

That’s where Data Skills for Development comes in. 

 

We are a Non-for-Profit organization based in Canada and South Africa, and operating in several African countries. We have more than 25 years of experience in developing data-centric culture and analytics skills to master how to collect, analyse, and disseminate data to make the right decision in Government institutions.
