Taadom Datalab

Open data and interactive analytics for African health and beyond.

We are building a public datalab that puts African health and demographic data in front of the people who need it — researchers, journalists, ministries, and citizens. Starting with Cameroon, expanding outward through regional blocs, the continent, and global comparisons.

In active development · Early 2026
Scope

Built outward, from one country to the world.

Every dataset, dashboard, and indicator we publish belongs to a hierarchy. You can drill in to a single country, compare across a regional bloc, zoom out to the continent, or set Africa beside the rest of the world.

01 · STARTING POINT

Country

Cameroon first — health, demographics, economy. Curated, sourced, and documented.

02 · NEAR TERM

Regional bloc

CEMAC, ECOWAS, EAC, SADC, IGAD, COMESA, AMU — the geographies countries actually compare against.

03 · MEDIUM TERM

Africa

Continental rollups, normalised across sources where the data permits honest comparison.

04 · LONG TERM

World

Africa-vs-world contexts so a country can be located not just continentally, but globally.

What we are building

Four surfaces, one shared dataset.

Each of these draws from the same curated, documented, versioned sources — so a chart on a country profile reconciles with a row in the API and a panel in a sectoral dashboard.

Country profiles

Cameroon first

A standing snapshot per country — headline indicators, longitudinal trends, source provenance, downloadable in CSV and Parquet.

  • Health: services, outcomes, financing
  • Demographics: population, fertility, migration
  • Economy: GDP, employment, inflation
  • Education: enrolment, completion, literacy

Regional comparisons

Following Cameroon

Side-by-side dashboards across countries within each regional bloc — the comparisons that actually inform policy.

  • CEMAC, ECOWAS, EAC, SADC and others
  • Per-indicator ranking and divergence
  • Time-aligned trend overlays
  • Methodological notes per dataset

Sectoral dashboards

Q2 2026

Deep-dive views into a single sector across geographies — designed for analysts and journalists working a beat.

  • Maternal & child health
  • Communicable & non-communicable disease
  • Health financing & HRH
  • Drivers: water, sanitation, nutrition

Open data API

Planned

Programmatic access to every dataset behind every chart, with stable identifiers and versioned releases.

  • JSON & CSV endpoints
  • Versioned datasets, immutable releases
  • Source provenance per row
  • Permissive open-data licence

We are looking for collaborators with curated data on African health, demographics, and economy — particularly people willing to write the methodological notes that make a dataset trustworthy.
