The DIGITAFRICA Platform is made by the DIGITAFRICA researchers network. It can query various sources of information related to the network’s research subjects.

It uses version 3.1.10 of the SIST platform, an application developed on top of SPIP-Agora since 2005 by the CIRAD, with a financing of the French ministry of the Foreign and European Affairs. The developments specific to the SIST platform include five research modules — RSS feeds, open archives, databases, Web sites, federated search — and two modules allowing to manage alerts and create wikis.
