Personal information
Biography
I am data scientist with more than 20 years’ experience curating and sharing disaggregated African data with researchers. I manage data operations at DataFirst, a data service and research unit based at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. I am responsible for Africa’s only CoreTrustSeal certified open data repository and established the only secure research data centre in Africa, to give researchers controlled access to sensitive government data. I train data managers in government and research institutions across Africa and assist governments to assess their data-readiness for Sustainable Development Goal planning and monitoring. My research field of interest is open government data and information ecosystems for data-directed decision-making in African countries.
