This Sixth Edition of JIPIT is a Special Issue themed Data Governance in the Public Interest. It arises from the Data Privacy and Governance Society of Kenya (DPGSK) Annual Conference and Research Day, held on 22 October 2025 in partnership with CIPIT and Amnesty International Kenya. Its six peer-reviewed papers examine posthumous data privacy, legal and technical frameworks for data systems resilience, image rights grounded in African personhood, the governance of AI-generated likeness, constitutional governance of digital identity, and participatory health data governance in Kenya.
