About Code for Africa

Code for Africa (CfA) is the continent’s largest network of indigenous African civic technology and investigative data journalism laboratories, with over 70 staff in 19 African countries, who build digital democracy solutions that are intended to give citizens unfettered access to actionable information that empowers them to make informed decisions and that strengthen civic engagement for improved public governance and accountability.

CfA’s role as an ecosystem catalyst includes managing the innovateAFRICA.fund and impactAFRICA.fund, as well building infrastructure such as the continent’s largest open data portal, open.AFRICA, plus Africa’s largest open source civic software portal, commons.AFRICA, and the continent’s largest repository of investigative document-based evidence, source.AFRICA, along with smaller resources such the GotToVote election toolkit or afriLEAKS encrypted whistleblower portal.

CfA’s labs also incubate or accelerate a series of pioneering initiatives, including the PesaCheck fact-checking initiative (which is now in 12 countries), the continental africanDRONE network, and the African Network of Centres for Investigative Reporting (ANCIR) that spearheads forensic journalism across the continent.

CfA is a non-profit organisation, registered as a public benefit organisation in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.
