Abstract
The Africa Knowledge Platform is a one-stop-shop for the European Commission (EC)’s scientific knowledge on Africa. Developed by the Joint Research Centre, this open, visual, and interactive platform brings together a wealth of geospatial scientific information on Africa’s social, economic, territorial and environmental development. The Africa Knowledge Platform is developed using open-source geospatial technologies and the whole platform is open to the public, so that its potential value extends to academia and to stakeholders from the public, private and non-profit sectors in both Europe and Africa. The platform brings together information across 62 topics within 10 broad themes: natural resources, sustainable growth and jobs, food and agriculture, climate change, human demography, health, security, economy, energy and digital transformation. This covers all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We will be taking a tour and in-depth look at the workflow used to develop and publish the platform and the technologies behind it.
