Exploring the Future of Data Governance in Africa

Authors
summary

The significance of data to today’s economy has stimulated ongoing conversations about the regulation and management of data. This is evidenced in the massive amounts of value constantly derived and extracted from it and the severe impacts of its misuse in today’s economy. Our "Exploring the Future of Data Governance in Africa: Data Stewardship, Collaboratives, Trusts and More" paper investigates broadly data stewardship methods, particularly data collaboratives and data trusts efforts and aims to identify the existing challenges, gaps, opportunities and potential recommendations on how to drive this discourse forward.
