Open Data

Public data locked in inaccessible formats

Public data about Uganda — administrative boundaries, education institutions, geographic locations — exists but is often locked in PDFs, spreadsheets, or government reports. Developers building apps for the Ugandan market have to manually extract and structure this data every time.

Clean APIs for commonly needed datasets

Open Data provides clean, well-structured APIs and web resources for commonly needed Ugandan datasets. Developers can query administrative locations, education institutions (from the National Council of Higher Education), and other public datasets through standard REST APIs.

What Open Data offers

• REST APIs for Uganda administrative locations (districts, counties, sub-counties)
• Education institution data from the National Council of Higher Education
• Structured datasets ready for integration
• Developer-friendly documentation
• Free and open access

Accelerating development of locally relevant software

Open Data removes the data-wrangling barrier for developers building Ugandan apps. Instead of scraping PDFs or manually entering locations, teams can pull structured data directly into their applications, accelerating development of locally relevant software.
