Welcome to the Introductory Course on Data Governance for Africa

As African nations accelerate their digital transformation, the importance of effective data governance cannot be overstated. This course introduces you to the 8 pillars of data governance, providing a comprehensive foundation to help policymakers, regulators, and public servants across the continent develop robust frameworks for managing data in the public interest.

Rooted in the African context and aligned with regional priorities, this course will explore the two key areas of focus in data governance:

Existing Regulations and Standards
Public Sector Consensus

Through these themes, you will examine the following eight interconnected pillars:

Policies and Legal Frameworks
Leadership and Governance
Institutional Structures, Responsibilities and Capabilities
Digital Public Infrastructure, Skills and Capacity Building
Data Governance Architecture and Management
Stimulating Demand for Data
Funding Considerations
Data Value Chain Creation

This course is designed to help you understand the foundational elements needed to govern data responsibly and equitably, with a focus on African-led approaches and continental collaboration. Whether you are just beginning your journey or seeking to refine your understanding, this course equips you with the knowledge needed to support data-driven decision-making in your institution or country.
