Terms of Reference

Recruitment

• Position: Project Manager-Data Governance Initiatives
• Duration: Fixed Term
• Location: Kigali, Rwanda
• Deadline: August 18^th,2024 at 11:00 PM Kigali (GMT+2)

1. Context and Background

Africa is reshaping its narrative from one of poverty to progress, showcasing impressive economic growth, technological innovation, and a young population. Nevertheless, digital transformation faces obstacles such as limited access, insufficient investments, and a digital divide, which also offer opportunities for growth through better accessibility, efficiency, and job creation.

Smart Africa is an alliance of 41 African countries, international organisations and global private sector players tasked with Africa’s digital agenda. The alliance is empowered by a bold and innovative commitment by African Heads of State to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development on the continent and usher Africa into the knowledge economy through affordable access to broadband and the use of ICTs.

With a vision to create a single digital market in Africa by 2030, the Smart Africa Alliance brings together Heads of State who seek to accelerate the digitalization of the continent and create a common market. Launched in 2013 by seven (7) African Heads of State, the Alliance now has 39 member countries, representing over 1 billion people and over 50 Private Sector members committed to the vision and the advancement of Africa.

Smart Africa aims to put ICT at the Center of the National Socio-economic development agenda of member countries, improve access to ICT, especially Broadband, improve accountability, efficiency and openness through ICT. It promotes the introduction of advanced technologies in telecommunication while putting the Private Sector first and leveraging ICT to promote sustainable development.

2. About Data Governance Initiatives

Every day, enormous amounts of data are collected, stored, and transmitted across the globe. Value generation in the digital economy is directly related to this circulation of data, both between countries and economic actors, just like access to roads or train networks, access to trustworthy data has become vital for a large part of the economy and society.

To increase the use of data and derive its associated value, capacities to make a smart and efficient use of data must be enhanced on the African continent, both in the public and private sector. Infrastructures for this data circulation must be developed, access to public data improved, data sharing between businesses supported, cross-border flow of data simplified, and the economic value of data harnessed.

These efforts however need to be carefully accompanied by the design and implementation of good Data Governance. Data Governance is the framework of principles and rules that define the modalities of data sharing between parties, considering access, use and the distribution of value derived from its use, and ensure high quality throughout the complete lifecycle of data ensuring that data remains usable, accessible, fit for purpose and economically viable.

Effective data governance system and rules will, therefore, ensure:

• the protection of African states’ sovereignty and interests, ensuring that value creation benefits African economies.
• the protection of rights and freedoms of African citizens and.
• the protection of business and organizations, who need a trusted environment and legal certainty for the uptake of digital products and services’ use.

Smart Africa’s objective is committed to transform the continent into a Single Digital Market by 2030. Data governance frameworks are not yet harmonized across Africa but might play an increasing role in the support of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence or IoT, and more globally in the socio-economic development of the continent. Some of the current Data Governance initiatives within Smart Africa include the Data Flagship Project where we:

• Assist member states to develop data policy instruments and data economy roadmaps in line with the Smart Africa Data Governance Blueprint and the African Union Data Policy Framework.
• Build consensus on the value of data and encourage data driven decisions.
• Facilitate capacity building for policy and decision makers through the Smart Africa Digital Academy and working closely with the Network of African Data Protection Authorities and Regional Economic Communities.
• Support the harmonization of legal and regulatory frameworks on data governance, across Africa.

As Smart Africa works towards building a Single Digital Market in Africa by 2030, it has become critical to facilitate and guide, not only the harmonization of frameworks, but also implementation of responsible data governance solutions on the continent based on the African Union Continental Data Policy Framework and the Smart Africa Data Governance Blueprint. With support from GIZ/BMZ, Smart Africa is implementing the Data Flagship project which aims to support:

• the implementation of data policy instruments at national level.
• the development of national data value creation blueprints.
• Enhancement of enforcement capabilities of Africa Data Protection Authorities.
• the development of robust and green data infrastructure.
• The development of national models on innovative digital financing models.
