Why Data Protection Matters for Development: The Case for Strengthening Inclusion and Regulatory Capacity

About this policy brief

A policy note from Centre For Global Development that draws on insights gained from the Governing Data for Development project. The note summarises key takeaways from the interviews, roundtables, and working group meetings we held over the last two years with more than 100 experts working on different facets of data policy. It also offers suggestions for policymakers seeking to regulate data use while keeping up with rapidly evolving digital practices and provides recommendations for how the international development community and high-income countries can promote a more inclusive digital economy and a level regulatory playing field.
