Code For Africa (CfA) | 17,500 followers on LinkedIn. Africa's largest network of #CivicTech and #OpenData labs building digital democracy solutions. | Code for Africa (CfA) uses technology and #OpenData to build digital democracies that empower citizens. We give citizens actionable information for better-informed decision making and digital tools to amplify their voices, so that they can hold the authorities (both governmental and corporate) to account. We do this in a number of ways: first, by liberating the data currently locked up in governments and corporations, and using this information to build open data / open government digital "backbone"​ infrastructure.
