Data from a vast array of sources is becoming available in many African countries. Machine learning and analysis are being applied to solve real problems on the ground.

We at Data Science Africa aim to create a hub in the network of data science researchers across Africa, by,

1. Providing an index of researchers and practitioners in the field of Data Science in Africa
2. A resource of lectures and notes
3. Links and sources of information and potential data sources
4. In the future a discussion forum to discuss Data Science questions
5. An online presence for data science conferences and workshops
