Impact Story
Femanalytica is deeply invested in building local capacity in the field of data science in Malawi. We are proud of our our recent partnership with DataCamp, an esteemed platform for learning data science online. Through this collaboration, we are offering an exclusive training program designed to cultivate the next generation of data scientists in Malawi. This program has seen 30 Malawians currently being trained in cutting-edge data science techniques and methodologies online, aligning with our mission to promote data science expertise within the country. Consistent with our commitment to gender equality and empowering women in technology, we awarded 60% of the spots in this training program to women. This initiative is a step towards creating a more diverse and inclusive data science community in Malawi.
In addition, we have established partnerships with local nonprofits and NGOs working in the health sector in Malawi to analyze health-related data. This partnership aims to derive actionable insights that can significantly improve health outcomes across various communities using advanced data analytics and machine learning techniques. This will help our partners to make informed decision-making and act upon evidence based intervention strategies.
