EEPA’s Data Governance in Africa (DGA) programme involves setting up a humanitarian dataspace for social dynamics related to health and wellbeing of vulnerable groups including victims of human trafficking, conflict-related sexual violence and conflict-related needs for basic services such as security, food, water, (mental) health care and shelter.
More information can be found on the website of the Africa Health Data Space.
Sensitive Data Sovereignty Conference
Under our DGA programme, we are organising The Sensitive Data Sovereignty Conference, taking place in Tangaza University, Nairobi, Kenya, on 27 January 2026. This conference brings together academics, policymakers, researchers, humanitarian actors, and technology experts to explore how African-led data spaces for sensitive data can strengthen African sovereignty, enable ethical AI, and support health and humanitarian action. It aims to foster shared strategies, build capacity, and catalyse long-term collaborations.
