The Tigray Data Repository (TDR) is an online, open-source repository that documents Tigray’s history and the experiences of Tigrayan communities in Tigray and the Diaspora. The TDR, which was established in May 2024 and went live in April 2025, is a digital archive of the life, struggles, and experiences of Tigrayans. The repository documents various datasets that provide an overview of the Tigrayan community and their experiences. From digital, humanitarian, and socio-economic aspects to cultural, political, and educational experiences, the TDR captures every facet of the Tigrayan lifestyle— providing us with a general database for Tigray.

The TDR is a valuable resource for education and research that will promote accountability for the genocide committed during the Tigray war (2020–2022) and benefit future generations. Guided by the motto: “Data for Tigray, Knowledge for Generations!”, the TDR will play a pivotal role in creating awareness and advocating for humanitarian actions for Tigray.

Moreover, by demonstrating the past struggles and current journeys of the Tigrayan people, TDR illuminates the community’s resilience, history, and identity. Our team aims to preserve data for research and insight generation. This data will form the foundation for reformations and empower the community with the knowledge to thrive and live harmoniously.
