Abstract

This project proposes to develop the key elements of a coordinated pan-African COVID-19 data ecosystem. We will build a robust suite of data standards and technologies, diverse data integration methodologies, using the power of AI and data science for analysis and oversight through a trusted governance and policy environment. The harmonized data represents a global public good which will deliver insights for evidence-based answers on key questions about COVID-19.
