The biennial Africa Data Revolution Report was proposed by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) to report on the status of the data ecosystem in African countries focusing on thematic areas. This followed the development of the Africa Data Consensus at the High Level Conference on Data Revolution, held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2015. The Consensus defined the African data revolution as “a profound shift in the way that data is harnessed to impact on development decision-making, with a particular emphasis on building a culture of usage” and presents a strategy for nurturing the data revolution in Africa, aiming to create a new data landscape or ecosystem by opening up the field of data production and dissemination to State and non-State actors.
It views the data revolution as a “partnership of all data communities that upholds the principles of official statistics as well as openness across the data value chain, which creates a vibrant data ecosystem providing timely, user-driven and disaggregated data for public good and inclusive development”. The Consensus was developed in response to calls for a framework on the data revolution in Africa and its implications for the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The African Data Revolution Report therefore provides a way to track and review progress on the presence use and impact of (open) data to promote user-driven and disaggregated data for public good and inclusive development.

The first edition of the biennial Africa Data Revolution Report addressed issues on the process of transforming data ecosystems. The report is envisioned assisting countries on the continent in charting their way towards strengthened national data ecosystems by identifying problems, lessons learnt and coming up with applicable recommendations. Further, it reviewed the state of data ecosystems in Africa in terms of the diversity of data actors and their capacity needs, legislative and policy frameworks, technological infrastructure, tools and platforms, and the dynamic interactions between them.

STATUS AND EMERGING IMPACT
OF OPEN DATA IN AFRICA
The Africa Data Revolution Report 2018 delves into the recent evolution and current state of open data – with an emphasis on Open Government Data – in African data communities. It explores key countries across the continent, researches a wide range of open data initiatives, and benefits from global thematic expertise. This second edition combines a dedicated Open Data Barometer survey as well as a special 2018 Africa Open Data Index regional edition survey to understand the readiness of countries to secure positive outcomes from OGD initiatives, the extent of implementation of OGD initiatives, especially the publication of key datasets, and the use and impact of OGD in the surveyed countries.
