Abstract
Data are bedrock of evidence-based decision-making, and there cannot be any meaningful development without an appropriate and working data ecosystem. A holistic and aggressive approach to active data ecosystem brings about data revolution. This is seen as compendium of emerging disruptive statistical tools and technologies which is positioned as great step in enabling integrated analytics for sustainable development. This paper proposes the establishment of open data bank and discusses key driving fingers of open data bank that are fundamental to the mobilisation and sustenance of data revolution in Africa development. We provide ways of addressing these driving fingers to achieve sustainable goals in data revolution.
