Takwimu is an initiative by Africa Practice, Code for Africa, and iHub, with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The keynote address will be delivered by Prof. Bitange Ndemo followed by a panel discussion on “the role of data and analysis in shaping policy and development planning in Kenya” moderated by Linet Kwamboka the CEO of Data Science Limited. Also on the panel will be Douglas Waudo- Regional Communications, Advocacy & Media Specialist for East & Southern Africa, PATH;  Abraham Rugo- Country Director IBP; Dr. Alex Awiti, Vice Provost Aga Khan University (GSMC) and Juliana Rotich- Technology entrepreneur, Novato Africa.
