This underscores the critical role of data governance in safeguarding both the usability and integrity of data. The recently concluded East Africa Data Governance Conference provided a platform for diverse stakeholders, including regulators, to advance conversations on data governance as the region continues to undergo rapid digital transformation.

The East Africa Data Governance Conference aims to create a platform for collaborative conversations on how we manage data and build a comprehensive regional framework for the data ecosystem. This is because data governance goes beyond protection and it’s about accountability, inclusion, and shared responsibility. As highlighted by @alkags , Open Institute has been actively sensitising the public on the importance of protecting personal data and staying safe online through the Ficha Uchi Campaign. This plays a critical role in strengthening data governance by empowering citizens to take an active role in safeguarding their data rights.
