While is not regional/ local data either and not is vector format but raster
format - this is the overarching site for the world soil grid data that has
been in the works for many years now. 
Pretty cool (at least for me as a soil scientist that is):
https://ecodiv.earth/post/downloading-soilgrid-data/
 
And also a bit off topic: the data that went into this for the african
continent was produced with help of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in
the AFSIS project  http://africasoils.net/
I was part of a project using these africa soil grids (250m resolution) as
base data for a food security project see here http://www.trans-sec.org/ and
here

The ISRIC have something - https://www.isric.org/explore - They seem to be
the international soil people and have a "World Data Centre for Soils".
(They even have a FOSS4G t-shirt in their team photo!)

(Heading slightly offtopic, but they have a nifty Virtual Soil Museum too -
https://wsm.isric.org/ - COVID safe museum-ing)
