Salah Hammad, Head of the African Union (AU) African Governance Architecture (AGA) Secretariat, underscoring the importance of the data in shaping policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we go with this process of building the Africa we want, data has become extremely important in making policies and decisions that are in favour of building the continent, and also promoting good governance, democracy, and the rule of law,\u201d he told participants at the European Union- funded D4GA convening. The convening focuses on equipping pan African CSOs with data-driven tools and knowledge to collaborate effectively with the African Union\u2019s African Governance Architecture and national governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Data for Governance Alliance stakeholder convening coincides with the African Union\u2019s efforts to strengthen democracy and good governance, and we are benefitting from all the knowledge and skills that this partnership provides,\u201d Hammad said.<\/p>\n<p>The stakeholder engagement in Nairobi, the final in a series of regional convenings in 2023, offered hands-on training in data analysis, data-based advocacy and effective communications to pan-African Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). Themed &#8220;Enhancing governance, democracy, and human rights in Africa: Empowering pan-African civil society to effectively use data to enhance advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>In his keynote address, Brian Kagoro, Managing Director of Programmes at Open Society Foundations urged participants to champion data-driven policies in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolicies in Africa should be evidence- and data-driven. Data is key in controlling the narrative and direction of policy debate. We cannot continue relying on data generated outside the continent. It is time for Africa to generate its own data,\u201d Karogo said.<\/p>\n<p>Participants engaged with the Afrobarometer online data analysis tool and the AfricanLii platform that houses thousands of African Union legal documents. This practical experience has informed advocacy campaigns addressing critical issues, including youth empowerment, climate change, unconstitutional changes of government, elections, and child welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Karuti Kanyinga, Director of the Institute for Development Studies, charged the CSO representatives to leverage good quality data to enhance their advocacy efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have data that speak very good realities about Africa, and we need to use them to appeal to the conscience of our leaders in order for them to make choices and better interventions on governance, development, democracy and human rights,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n<p>The convening brought together representatives from pan-African CSOs and four African Union organs \u2013 the African Peer Review Mechanism, the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption, the African Commission on Human and People\u2019s Rights, and the Economic, Social and Cultural Council. This year, the D4GA has trained a total of 60 CSO representatives in data analysis and advocacy in South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya<\/p>\n<p>The Data for Governance Alliance is a four-year project that promotes data-based advocacy and engagement between pan-African civil society organisations (CSOs) and African Union organs. The project is led by Afrobarometer with partners including the Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), the Institute for Development Studies at the University of Nairobi, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, and Laws.Africa.
