Data science Burundi is a research initiative that seeks to create interaction amongst data scientists, enthusiasts, government, academia, NGO, private sector, and civil society organisations keen on data science and its use for social good;
We want to increase Burundi’s data science capacity by raising awareness and stimulating interest through a pool of local case studies and training; provide information and access to various data science resources; support the improvement of the policy and regulatory environment for data science in Burundi by inspiring new policies and/or amend and harmonise existing policies. These include policies around data access and sharing, data privacy, and issues of fairness and ethics.
