What a day to remember! 🇺🇬 An exciting moment for Uganda as we launched the National Data Strategy.

Thank you to @MoICT_Ug for the leadership, and to all who contributed across government, academia, the private sector and civil society.

Looking forward to continued e from strategy to implementation and work towards a coordinated and vibrant data-driven economy.

For Muscline Ganda, #DSA2026Kampala was an opportunity to explore how AI can be applied to real-world challenges.

Some moments are worth looking back on.
Two months ago, Kampala became a meeting point for people from across Africa and beyond.

🎥Here’s a look back at what made DSA 2026 Kampala memorable.

One month later, it still feels special to reflect on @dsa_org Summer school.

Ten years ago, I was that Master’s student, learning and discovering many techniques for the first time.

This year, it was an honour to serve as Program Chair, working alongside a dedicated team to event to life. It has been especially rewarding to see the posts, reflections and comments from an event we truly enjoyed organising!

What does DSA at 10 teach us?

I had the opportunity to chair a very engaging panel on “The Future of Careers and Work in the AI Era.” Two things particularly stood out for me:

1. AI is changing careers, but our greatest advantage will be our ability to adapt. Beyond technical skills, the future will require continuous learning, creativity, interdisciplinary thinking and, importantly, the ability to apply AI to real problems in our communities.

2. Africa’s AI future will be stronger if we grow together. We need to deliberately create and share opportunities across our networks, institutions and countries, especially through scholarships, visiting and exchange programmes, mentorship, research collaborations and opportunities for young researchers.

Ten years of DSA is a reminder of what a strong African community can achieve when we learn together, create opportunities for one another and grow together.

DSA 2026 Kampala would not have been possible without the generous support of our partners and sponsors.

Your continued support strengthens Data Science Africa's mission of building research excellence and AI capacity across the continent.

#DSA2026Kampala

One week later, we're still inspired by what we shared at #DSA2026Kampala.

Thank you to every speaker, partner, volunteer, and participant for making DSA 2026 Kampala a success.

The conversations continue.

What a week!
The physical Data Science Africa event returned to Uganda after 10 years, bringing together participants from across Africa and beyond. The map says it all—our community continues to grow in reach and diversity.

While Uganda hosted a virtual edition in 2020 due to it was truly special to welcome the community in person once again.

A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, speakers, volunteers, partners, and the outstanding organising committee who made the week such a success.

Above all, I am grateful to God Almighty for making it all possible.

A proud moment for @GCodeCommunity

Our Community Manager Lead, @IvyWahome7 , represented us at @dsa_org 2026 at @Makerere University, presenting research on Automatic Speech Recognition for the Kalenjin language.

We're committed to learn.

An exciting Day 4 of #DSA2026Kampala and the opening day of the DSA Workshop!

Highlights included cutting-edge research presentations, discussions on African Language Models, and exploring how efficient AI can power real-world solutions in resource-limited settings (@Arm)

DSA 2026🇺🇬

In the age of of generative AI, evidence-based proof is needed more than ever. This year's Summer school provided the space to indulge in such conversations.

We showcased live demos on IoT and AI for Environment: live bioacoustics edge inferencing, rain gauge phcast predictions, camera trap data processing and individual reidentification.

Day 3 of #DSA2026Kampala and the Summer school comes to a close;

Participants will leave with not only stronger technical skills but also a deeper appreciation for building AI that is ethical, trustworthy, and designed to benefit society.

🌐 datascienceafrica.org

At #DSA2026Kampala summer-school, the @aphrc team explored AI Evaluation; How do you know if an AI system really works?

Building AI that people can trust is just as important as building AI that performs.

#DataScienceAfrica

Day 2 of the #DSA2026Kampala Summer School is underway!

Our opening plenary explored how integrated MLOps and data storytelling can transform raw data into strategic action, with insights from Eng. Tamko Clarence (Novobyte) and Eng. Ndoumin Samba Serge.
