Helix Analytics Africa

Helix Analytics Africa is an extension of Training Centre in Communication (TCC Africa) based at The University of Nairobi – Faculty of Science and Technology. It is the data analytics branch of TCC founded to promote “data for impact (D4I) ” by leveraging on Open Science and modern data infrastructure to enhance public insights. Data for Impact (D4I) was first introduced by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), to support countries realize the power of data as evidence that could improve programs, policies, and health outcomes (https://www.data4impactproject.org/resources/publications/). The strategy of Helix Analytics Africa is to extend the capacity of data analytics for public use through collaboration with Data Governance institutions who regulate open data. The significance of this collaboration is to create credibility in collated data. Helix Analytics Africa is self sustainable; therefore, the data professionals focus not only to communicate efficiently to the public but use modern techniques to learn from data and develop industry solutions.
