The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) has approved a common data governance framework for its 11 member countries in Brazzaville, following a workshop held on 19 and 20 October, according to Brazza Infos.
The framework is intended to harmonise rules on data collection, storage, transfer, security and traceability between countries in the region. It is aimed in particular at government departments, telecommunications operators, fintechs, businesses and public services involved in cross-border exchanges, Brazza Infos reported.
ECCAS presents the framework as a means of strengthening user trust, reducing uncertainty for businesses developing digital services in several countries, and improving oversight of the use of data generated in Central Africa. In Brazzaville, its implementation could support the modernisation of administrative procedures, the development of electronic payments and the work of small and medium-sized enterprises, according to Brazza Infos.
