Dataphyte's platforms are operational intelligence tools — each solving a specific problem, together forming an interconnected ecosystem for data access, policy monitoring, learning, accountability, and AI inclusion.
From community data collection to procurement transparency, from digital skills certification to AI content creation — the Dataphyte platform ecosystem spans the full breadth of the innovation, media, and civic technology agenda.
GoLoka is a naturalistic data and panel research platform connecting local communities to the global data ecosystem. Built for Africa's realities — low bandwidth, feature phone users, WhatsApp-familiar populations — GoLoka's infrastructure enables citizen-led data collection, language dataset production, and real-time monitoring at scale.
At its core, GoLoka is a gig work platform for data — it pays young Nigerians and Africans to contribute high-quality data that builds AI systems, research panels, and monitoring infrastructure. The platform's WhatsApp-based workflows make participation accessible to anyone with a basic mobile phone, no smartphone or high-speed internet required.
Visit GoLoka →Anfani is Nigeria's most rigorous public procurement and beneficial ownership tracking platform. It profiles contracts, flags risks with AI-powered fraud detection, and builds the accountability infrastructure that journalists, civil society organisations, and governments need to fight corruption in public spending.
The platform's AI Red Flag System scores procurement contracts for risk — identifying patterns of irregularity, overpricing, and conflicts of interest that human reviewers might miss. Anfani serves as a public resource for accountability journalism and a policy tool for reforming procurement systems across Africa.
Visit Anfani →Dataphyte Insight is Africa's platform for data-driven journalistic and policy research — combining GoLoka panel polling, multimedia storytelling, and Africa-wide policy analysis. It is the home of the Africa Insight Index and The Insight Journal.
Where most research platforms present data, Dataphyte Insight translates it — into stories, visualisations, and policy briefs that help readers recognise themselves in the numbers. The platform serves journalists, policymakers, researchers, and citizens who need evidence without jargon.
Visit Dataphyte Insight →Dataphyte Academy is a structured training and certification platform delivering data science, AI tools, media innovation, and civic tech curricula — through the DIH, satellite university hubs, and mobile deployments reaching secondary cities and rural communities. It launches in English and three Nigerian languages.
The Academy is not just a course library. It is a credentialling ecosystem — built to be recognised by employers, universities, and development organisations, and designed to open doors for the young Nigerians and Africans who complete it. The "Learn Now, Pay Later" scheme ensures cost is never a barrier to access.
Visit Academy →Nubia AI is an AI content generation platform transforming socio-economic data into multimedia formats — articles, infographics, podcasts, and short videos — in African languages. It is built to serve journalists, newsrooms, NGOs, and researchers who need data-driven storytelling at scale, without requiring a full production team.
Nubia represents a fundamental bet: that the AI systems shaping how Africa's stories are told should be built, owned, and operated by Africans. Its open-source components contribute to the continent's broader AI ecosystem — building capacity that extends far beyond any single product or use case.

It provides granular, LGA-level election data, aggregating results, irregularity reports, and observer data from accredited civil society networks across Nigeria.
The platform serves journalists, election observers, political party agents, civil society organisations, and citizens who need transparent, timely, and accurate election data. In a country where election disputes are frequent, having independent, data-driven election monitoring infrastructure is not a nice-to-have — it is a democratic necessity.
Visit Elections Portal →SWOFON is the digital platform serving the Small Scale Women Farmers Organisation in Nigeria — a coalition of over 500,000 women farmers across all 36 states. The platform amplifies smallholder women farmers' voices, strengthens their capacity for advocacy, and builds agricultural policy accountability from the ground up.
Dataphyte Foundation is a core technology partner for SWOFON — providing the data infrastructure, digital tools, and capacity that enable half a million women farmers to coordinate, speak, and be heard. SWOFON demonstrates what community-centred technology looks like when it is built with — not just for — its users.
Visit SWOFON →ElectPeace is a West African civil society collaboration platform built by Dataphyte Foundation under the ECOWAS Peace and Security Governance (EPSG) programme, co-funded by the EU and GIZ. It helps civil society organisations connect, share resources, access funding opportunities, and build cross-border partnerships that drive electoral peace and social impact.
The platform reflects Dataphyte Foundation's belief that electoral peace in West Africa requires sustained, well-resourced civil society engagement — not just during election seasons, but between them. ElectPeace provides the infrastructure for that sustained engagement to happen at scale.
Visit ElectPeace →The Language AI Initiative is a programme producing open-access voice, text, and annotation datasets for Nigerian languages — delivered through GoLoka's WhatsApp infrastructure. This positions Nigeria as an active producer of the AI systems shaping its future, rather than a passive consumer of systems built without Nigerian languages.
Datasets are published to global repositories, providing a compounding public good whose value grows as AI models incorporate them. Every dataset produced makes the next AI system trained on it better for Nigerian and African users — a return on investment that extends indefinitely beyond the production period.
