Data Sovereignty: A Perspective From Zimbabwe
Munyaradzi Mawere, Gertjan van Stam
Abstract
This paper applies a trans-disciplinary analysis on the issue of data sovereignty, from an African perspective. The paper interrogates the residence of data and the African prerogatives for its processing. Harvesting from experiences in Zimbabwean health systems, this paper suggests that African governments can steward the collection and appropriate use of data resources, applying the principles of data sovereignty.
