Kenya has initiated the drafting of its National Data Governance Policy, a framework aimed at regulating data collection, storage, sharing, and protection. This move reinforces Kenya's position as a continental leader in data protection maturity, as claimed by PS ICT & Digital Economy Eng. John Tanui.

• The drafting process for the National Data Governance Policy was officially launched by the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy.
• The initiative is supported by the European Union and Germany’s GIZ Digital Transformation Center.
• Kenya passed its Data Protection Act in 2019 and established the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), which has taken public action against data misuse, including against Worldcoin.
