Africa Data Marketplace
A unified platform for discovering, accessing, and sharing high value African datasets connecting data providers and decision makers across the continent.
Africa generates vast amounts of data every day from satellite imagery and census records to agricultural surveys and financial transactions yet this data remains fragmented, siloed, and largely inaccessible to those who need it most. The Africa Data Marketplace by Dali Geotech Ltd bridges that gap.
We have built a trusted, curated platform where governments, research institutions, NGOs, and private enterprises can discover high-quality datasets, publish their own validated data, and access standardised, ready-to-use information across more than 15 thematic categories and 40 African countries. Our marketplace does not just store data it contextualises it, quality assures it, and makes it actionable.
A complete ecosystem for discovering, sharing, and monetising African data built for the realities of operating on the continent.
Powerful search and filtering across thousands of curated datasets by country, theme, date range, format, and licensing terms — so you find exactly what you need in minutes, not weeks.
Every dataset published on the marketplace passes through our rigorous quality assurance process checking for completeness, accuracy, consistency, and metadata compliance before it goes live.
Organisations can publish and monetise their proprietary datasets through our platform, setting their own access tiers, pricing models, and licensing terms with full control over distribution.
Programmatic access to any dataset via RESTful APIs, enabling seamless integration into your own dashboards, applications, and analytical pipelines without manual downloads.
A rich library of boundary files, land use maps, infrastructure layers, and satellite-derived datasets formatted for direct use in GIS platforms, making spatial analysis faster and more affordable.
We work directly with national statistics offices, government ministries, and research institutions to onboard official data sources, enriching the marketplace with authoritative, primary datasets.
Our marketplace spans every domain critical to development, investment, and policy all organised, tagged, and ready to use.
National census data, population projections, age-sex pyramids, urbanisation rates, and migration statistics disaggregated at district and ward level for planning and targeting.

Investors and development finance institutions use our marketplace to conduct country-level due diligence, assess market risk, and benchmark performance across sectors and geographies.
UN agencies and international NGOs access population, health, and displacement datasets to plan emergency responses, allocate resources, and coordinate inter-agency operations in crisis settings.
Universities and think tanks access panel datasets, longitudinal surveys, and administrative records for peer-reviewed research, evaluation studies, and evidence-based policy briefs.
Multinational companies entering African markets use our consumer, logistics, and demographic data to select sites, size target markets, and design culturally relevant product strategies.
National statistics offices use the marketplace to cross-check their own datasets against regional peers, identify data gaps, and harmonise indicators with international standards.
Banks, cooperatives, and commodity traders access crop production, weather, and market price data to underwrite smallholder loans, price risk, and plan procurement operations.
We offer multiple access tiers to match the needs and budgets of everyone from solo researchers to enterprise data teams.
A curated selection of public domain and openly licensed datasets available at no cost to any registered user ideal for academic research, journalism, and civil society work.
