## π The Problem
African machine learning engineers face a critical data gap. There is almost no
quality training data that reflects African contexts. Our health systems, demographics,
languages, and realities. Models trained on Western data consistently underperform
when deployed in Africa.
AfriGen fixes this.
## π§ What AfriGen Does
AfriGen transforms real-world African statistics into validated, production-ready synthetic datasets for machine learning.
It uses World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Observatory and World Bank data to ground Gemini AI generation in real statistical distributions, ensuring outputs reflect actual African health and demographic realities instead of random synthetic patterns.
Each dataset is then scored for statistical fidelity, automatically registered in OpenMetadata with full lineage and schema tracking, and made discoverable through a live catalog.
Before any dataset reaches a training pipeline, it passes through a data quality layer that checks completeness, detects anomalies, scans for sensitive data, and evaluates model readiness with AI-assisted recommendations.
