Palindrome Data is a data science consultancy founded in Cape Town, South Africa, specializing in Predictive Analytics and advanced data services for the development sector.
Our cross-discipline team has over 10 years’ experience in developing and scaling Technology for Development (ICT4D) solutions in over 50 projects across East and Southern Africa. To this, we have added 10 years’ expertise in private sector data services. Our team has executed digital health projects in 11 African countries since 2006 and have worked with implementing and funding partners across the USAID, DFID, and private philanthropy sectors.
