Show Notes

This podcast explores how African nations have transitioned from fragmented sectoral protections to comprehensive, rights-based data frameworks inspired by global standards like the EU GDPR. We delve into the pivotal role of regional instruments like the Malabo Convention and the rise of "enforcement maturity," where increasingly confident regulators are now holding both global tech giants and government departments accountable. Finally, we examine the strategic shift toward continental enforcement norms, AI governance, and the institutionalization of regulator-to-regulator learning to secure Africa's rapidly evolving digital economy.
