Bringing together economists, lawyers, statisticians, and technology experts, it assesses gaps in both the availability and use of existing data across the continent, and argues that data creation, management and governance need to improve if private and public sectors are to reap the benefits of big data and digital technologies. It also considers lessons from across the globe to assess principles, norms and practices that can guide the development of data governance in Africa. The book will appeal to scholars and students of data governance, technology and public policy, as well as practitioners and policy makers.Information Technology and Global GovernanceData protectionGovernment policyAfricaData protectionLaw and legislationAfricaData protectionGovernment policyData protectionLaw and legislation323.4483096Ndemo Bitange1959-1435683Ndung'u Njuguna1424258Odhiambo Scholastica1424259Shimeles Abebe1424260MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910737295303321Data governance and policy in Africa3593498UNINA
