The Data Science Africa (DSA) 2025 Activity Report captures a year of growth, collaboration, and practical impact across the continent. As DSA marked its tenth anniversary, the organisation expanded opportunities for learning, research, and innovation while strengthening the network of researchers, students, and institutions using data science and artificial intelligence to solve real challenges.

In 2024, Data Science Africa (DSA) continued its mission of strengthening data science, machine learning, and AI capacity across Africa through targeted training, research funding, industry collaborations, and community engagement. With a growing network of universities, research institutions, and industry partners, DSA has established itself as a key enabler of data-driven solutions to Africa’s unique challenges. This year saw major milestones in capacity building, research grant awards, strategic partnerships, and financial sustainability, further cementing DSA’s role as a leader in Africa’s data science ecosystem.
