Data Ecosystem and Policy

How data is collected, governed, shared, and used in Ghana and across Africa.

What this section covers

Data underpins every digital system,from AI models to public services. Yet across much of Africa, data remains fragmented, incomplete, or weakly governed.

This section examines the data ecosystem itself: how data is collected, stored, shared, protected, and regulated in Ghana and across Africa. We focus on the institutional, legal, and infrastructural conditions that determine whether data can be used responsibly and effectively.
