Delivering on the Data Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa

This report explains the four fundamental constraints that have

inhibited the collection and use of data in Africa: limited independence

and unstable budgets, misaligned incentives, donor priorities

dominating national priorities, and limited access to and use of data.

It identifies three actionable recommendations for governments

and donors to drive change: fund more and fund differently; build

institutions that can produce accurate, unbiased data; and prioritize

the core attributes of data building blocks.
