  • About the Smart Africa 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;

    • Assisting member states to develop data strategies.
  • Building the capacity of data policy makers and decision makers through the Smart Africa Digital Academy.
  • The Africa Data Leadership Initiative in partnership with UNECA and Future State.
