Event Update |
This is a follow-up workshop to the July 28 – 30 Data Governance Workshop, where we conducted a survey and capacity building sessions with the selected participants (folks from the Ministry of Information, Communications, Science, Technology & Innovation, CSOs, Academia, Private sector, and the media).
During the July session, which was primarily a stakeholder engagement on Lesotho’s Draft Data Management Policy and domesticating the African Union Data Policy Framework (AUDPF 2022), the following topics were covered: situating the African Data Governance framework, analysing the Kingdom of Lesotho’s Data Management Policy & Data Protection Act 2011, and gathering stakeholder opinions on the alignment of the legislative framework.
On October 13-14, 2025, validate recommendations for a consensus-driven DMP for Lesotho and a Data Management Policy aligned with continental best practices in data governance.
