Call for Proposals: Development of a Policy Brief on Data Governance related topics

What is the Africa Data Governance Hub (ADGH)?

The Africa Data Governance Hub is an online platform designed to foster collaboration among data governance actors and share resources in Africa. Our goal is to ensure that data governance organizations across the continent work together on complementary policy issues, advocate collaboratively, and share learning experiences. The platform is jointly managed by Niyel and Pollicy.

The Africa Data Governance Hub (ADGH) invites six (6) qualified consultants/ research institutions/ or organizations to develop a series of policy briefs (6) (Each applicant is required to submit one proposal for one policy brief), aimed to provide a clear, concise summary of critical data governance issues and recommendations to guide informed decisionmaking and improve data practices.

The resulting policy briefs will analyze the current trends, gaps, and best practices in data governance regulation and offer concrete policy recommendations for policymakers, and the international community to design effective data governance while maintaining a balance between data protection issues, privacy rights, and human rights. They will help to boost the capacity of policy and decision-makers, research institutions, and civil society organizations to develop and implement evidence-based policies. The policy briefs will be published in both English and French.
