The Dakar Roadmap to Sustainable Sub-national Data Systems in Africa (2026–2030)

The Dakar Roadmap (2026–2030) is a consensus-based strategic framework adopted during the Multi-Country Workshop on Strengthening Sub-national Data Systems in Africa (Dakar, December 2–4,  2025). It provides a clear, time-bound pathway for African governments and partners to transition from donor-dependent, project-based data initiatives to sustainable, nationally led subnational data systems integrated into national statistical architectures.
