Today we celebrate Africa Day — and we invite you to explore DƆNÙESÈ.
On May 25th, Africa Day, RFLD invites partners to explore the DƆNÙESÈ Data Center, offering twelve open tools designed for African civil society. Named after a West African term for shared knowledge, this public infrastructure aims to bridge the gap in accessing rigorous data that is often paywalled or inaccessible. RFLD identified that while vital data exists, it remains poorly documented and dominated by proprietary platforms. The tools serve various stakeholders, including civil society organizations, journalists, and policymakers, supporting advocacy on issues like women’s rights, health, and climate through bilingual and freely accessible resources.
