These events were a collaborative initiative between the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) with a specific aim of developing the necessary human and institutional capacity.
The training aimed to strengthen data protection practices within the participants’ organisations, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle data protection challenges effectively. The sessions also emphasised the importance of accountability, the implementation of robust data security measures and documentation.
Overall, the sessions were a significant step towards enhancing data protection and privacy in Nigeria, fostering a culture of compliance and awareness among the participants.
