About Malaika

Malaika is a data management platform designed for Africa's creative economy. Meaning "Angel" in Swahili, Malaika addresses a critical challenge: while Africa's creative sector is rich in talent and innovation, it has long struggled with fragmented, inaccessible data. 
Born from the real-world challenges witnessed by Andani.Africa — Africa's first research company specialising in the creative economy since 2016 — Malaika empowers organisations to not only manage their data but to learn from it, driving informed decisions and sustainable growth. Malaika provides end-to-end solutions to transform your data into a structured, reliable, and powerful strategic resource.

Malaika Evaluate, our flagship workspace, serves funders, investors, programme managers, researchers, and monitoring and evaluation officers who struggle with demonstrating impact in the creative sector. Malaika makes creative impact visible and fundable, helping organisations unlock investments, influence policy, and drive growth through evidence-backed decisions.









“We built Malaika to transform Africa’s creative economy by turning data into a powerful ally for growth, visibility and sustainability.”  


Lonwabo Mavuso, Executive Director & Co-Founder of Andani.Africa
