    A Data Governance Framework for Africa
    (2022-02) Ndemo, Bitange; Thegeya, Aaron
    To create a vibrant market for the use of data, while still protecting the individual rights of those on the continent, Africa must lead the way in developing its data strategy and data governance framework. This data governance framework should account for the continent’s unique characteristics while addressing gaps in digitization, identity, and access to data across countries. This background paper discusses the key features of an effective data governance framework within an African context; it identifies the key dimensions that merit consideration in this regard; and it describes the principles that should animate such a system for governing how data is deployed on the continent.

    Digitalization and Financial Data Governance in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities
    (African Economic Research Consortium, 2022-06) Ndemo, Bitange; Mkalama, Ben
    Digitalization has transformed global financial markets and is quickly emerging as an avenue for future economic development. However, due to the dynamic nature of the digitalisation processes, ubiquitous challenges affecting their collection, processing, quality and security of collected data have continued to emerge, thereby creating opportunities for financial data governance. In this policy paper, we outline the state of financial-data governance and practices in Africa. We also identify questions and dilemmas facing scholars, practitioners and policymakers as we journey into a digitalized future.
