How Africa CAN Data Fellows are driving change
The fellowship program, which provided data professionals with hands-on experience, was central to Africa CAN. Participants focused on identified, country-specific use cases, working with host institutions and sectoral experts to apply their knowledge and break new ground in the use of climate and health data. In doing so, they increased their data skills, boosted demand for data among public and social impact organizations, developed innovative solutions, and built the capacity of the organizations they worked with to use data more effectively in the future.
