ABOUT
DOMINION

Land and how it is controlled shapes everything from our food security and
geopolitics to national identity.

The scramble for control of high value land (and its attributes such as water
and mineral wealth), in the face of escalating climate change and urbanisation,
underpins much of Africa’s fiercest conflicts and mass migrations.

Dominion is CfA’s attempt to inject data-driven evidence and analysis into
public discourse policy-setting across the continent.

Dominion is designed as an umbrella data visualisation portal, powered by the
HURUmap stack of geo-data software tools, that aggregates land data so that
journalists / researchers / policymakers can use it to explore comparisons, spot
trends or find other insights.

Dominion also aggregates the best journalistic stories and/or campaigns that
partners create using our data / infographics.
