Project description:

Our projects seeks for donation to build a website and software to handle and analyse big data.

DATA IN PRACTICE is a not-for-profit organisation based in Kenya.The main goal is to use big data to solve development challenges facing Africa in critical areas such as agriculture, health, urban planning, wild life conservation and climate change. We collect big data, clean , analyse and publish. More important the findings are presented in workshops, conferences and one-on-one to our partners to inform policy so as as to shape development agenda in Africa. 

The infrastructure to run our operation include  an office, desktop computers, laptop, cloud (to handle big data),a website, email accounts, etc.

We partner with public and private institutions including government agencies, universities , private companies to access and collect data and to  implement research findings.

The organisation engages volunteer fellows  to carry out big data analytics in the cloud whose  results will shape  government policies as well as guide development partners in funding of projects in Africa. The Volunteer fellows actively  look for grants  to fund various projects in their respective field of research. Once funding is secured the volunteer fellows get contract fellowship tied to funding duration.
