Program
Data Protection & Privacy Certification
A practitioner-grade certification on data governance, consent, and compliance — grounded in African regulatory frameworks and aligned with global privacy standards.
Why this certification
Africa's data protection landscape is maturing fast — from Kenya's Data Protection Act and Nigeria's NDPA to South Africa's POPIA and the African Union's Malabo Convention. Organizations that handle personal data need staff who understand not just the letter of these laws, but how to operationalize them day to day.
Curriculum
Lawful bases for processing, data subject rights, cross-border transfers, DPIAs, breach response, vendor management, and the governance structures that make compliance sustainable. We benchmark African frameworks against GDPR so participants can work confidently with international partners and funders.
Format and outcomes
Six-week certification combining live sessions, case studies, and a capstone project on a real compliance challenge in your organization. Graduates earn a Data Protection Practitioner certificate recognized by partner regulators and employers across the continent.
