LEAD
The Leaders' Visits & Agreements Database Project is an initiative by Ankara-based Africa Foundation in Türkiye. The project systematically collects data on high-level diplomatic interactions of selected African countries that are strategically important to Türkiye in the continent. The resulting comprehensive database will document high-level visits and bilateral agreements of selected African countries from 1990 to 2025. By collecting such empirical data, this project will address a critical research gap in ongoing scholarly debates about African states’ international outlook and Turkey’s evolving engagement with Africa and, thereby, inform policymakers for more effective decision-making. The project will ultimately demonstrate African states’ strategic priorities and interactions throughout the world.

ASEO
The African External Security Engagement Observatory is a country-year database covering external security ties with all 54 African states, 2000–2025. It is assembled entirely from open sources and measures observable engagement, not influence or intent. The ASEO integrates seven open layers into a single country-year record. Each measures something observable; together they describe who arms African states, and under what conditions.
