Abstract
This regional snapshot covers the 25 Sub-Saharan African countries assessed in the fourth edition of the Open Data Barometer (ODB). Four new countries have been added since the third edition: Cote d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Swaziland and Togo. Africa lags in the implementation and impact of open data. Only Kenya ranks in the top 40 of 375 datasets in this regional analysis, while there are seven countries in the bottom ten. Governments are too dependent on third-parties for creating and sustaining open data initiatives.
