The Africa Knowledge Platform was showcased during the European Development Days (EDD) held in Brussels in June 2022. The development community came together to share experiences on how best to tackle the world’s most pressing development challenges. The theme of the 15^th edition was Global Gateway: building sustainable partnerships for a connected world; an ambition shared by the AKP.

Most participants who interacted with the AKP recognised it as an invaluable tool that can remove barriers to sharing data between stakeholders. Users also appreciated how the AKP makes it easy to explore spatial data and export statistics in a few clicks.

The two days at the EDD brought together many new potential partners and planted the seeds for several concrete collaborative actions that will take shape in the coming months.
