AFRICA CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE ON DATA GOVERNANCE AND DIGITAL RIGHTS (ACE – DGDR)
About the ACE-DGDR
Africa Centre of Excellence on Data Governance and Digital Rights (ACE-DGDRI) is the Hub’s initiative to expand and add more value to what we have been doing. The initiative responds to the current era where data is increasingly becoming a powerful driver – not only from an economic perspective, but also in terms of governance, innovation rights. In an age of digitization, data governance, digital rights and corresponding strategies are evolving across the globe and Africa owes to deliberately curate its narrative and share its destiny.
Objectives
The Initiative aims to advance African scholarship and sustainable research, promote knowledge sharing, and develop impactful research on ethics, law, and policy in Africa.
