The DƆNÙESÈ Data Center is RFLD’s collection of twelve open tools — policy hubs, legislative trackers, and gender-disaggregated datasets — maintained as public goods for African civil society.

  • Bilingual.
  • Free.
  • Continental in scope

The Data Center feeds RFLD’s continental policy hubs, informs our programme design, and is used by our 1,143 member organisations to ground their local advocacy in continental evidence.

It is open to any organisation, researcher, journalist, or advocate who finds it useful — no registration, no fees, no API keys.
