Credits & Data Sources

SAHANI is built on the work of others. This page names the datasets behind the dishes and the nutrition figures in the app, and the licences they come under. SAHANI is operated by Spectrum Technology Services SAS.

Last updated: 28 August 2026

Dish names, local names, languages, regions, occasions, descriptions and recipe links for African dishes come from World Wide Dishes, a community dataset by OxAI Labs Africa.

Dish data from World Wide Dishes (OxAI Labs), licensed under CC-BY 4.0.

  • Source: github.com/oxai/world-wide-dishes
  • Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
  • Adapted: yes. We merged the dataset into our own catalogue, de-duplicated entries that appeared under different languages or spellings, translated names and descriptions, and added fields the original does not carry — cooking steps, times, ingredient lists and nutrition figures. Nutrition figures are never taken from World Wide Dishes; see below for where those come from.

World Wide Dishes does not supply nutrition data, and the images it links to are not used in SAHANI.
