Wakamoso Africa

Wakamoso is an innovative digital platform developed to foster inclusive and sustainable economic development through the democratisation of data. At its heart, Wakamoso operates as a community-driven data commons, enabling individuals, businesses, and policymakers to collaborate in unlocking the potential of underserved communities. This participatory model not only gathers essential socio-economic data but also empowers individuals by ensuring they maintain ownership of their data, receiving income whenever it is utilised. The platform offers crucial services such as land and property registration, professional CV creation, and will drafting—facilitated through accessible, user-friendly digital tools. Wakamoso’s forward-thinking approach provides critical insights into community health, employability, and infrastructure needs while generating tangible opportunities for personal and local economic growth. By integrating Wakamoso, businesses, NGOs, and governments gain access to geospatially relevant data and bespoke tools that drive data-informed solutions. With real-time insights available at a granular level, Wakamoso bridges the gap between policy decisions and community needs, while adhering to data privacy regulations, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Wakamoso redefines how communities contribute to and benefit from data, acting as a beacon of data democracy and offering a model for the future of sustainable development in South Africa and beyond.
