Narratives of Data Sharing in Africa

Narratives and Counternarratives on Data Sharing in Africa

We use fictional personas built from a series of interviews with data experts in the continent to complicate dominant narratives and to provide counternarratives.

We identify recurring barriers to data sharing as well as inequities in the distribution of data sharing benefits.

We discuss issues arising from power imbalances resulting from the legacies of colonialism, ethno-centrism, and slavery, disinvestment in building trust, lack of acknowledgement of historical and present-day extractive practices, and western-centric policies that are ill-suited to the african context.

We discuss avenues for addressing these problems when sharing data generated in the continent.
