Responsible Data Governance for M&E in the African Context
Mesa redonda
Sobre el evento
M&E practitioners are confronted with high volumes of data in the big data economy, and new arising digital laws spurred by new technological developments. This was a topic discussed in depth at gLOCAL 2020. To unpack these data regulations to African M&E practitioners and to assist practitioners in conducting responsible data in their daily tasks, a group of data experts, government officials and M&E practitioners worked together to produce a two-part guidance report titled Responsible Data Governance for Monitoring and Evaluation in the African Context. Part 1 of the guidance report discusses an overview of data governance in Anglophone African countries, followed part 2 which presents a set of tangible guidelines to support M&E practitioners working on the continent to manage M&E data more responsibly.
The aim of this session is thus as follows:
• To launch the Responsible Data Governance for Monitoring and Evaluation in the African Context guidance and expose practitioners to data laws in Africa
• Discuss common challenges and emerging good practice in data management across the continent
• Unpack the data life cycle against the M&E cycle – a framework used for this guidance report
