Our Mission

Facilitate African solutions on data governance and emerging digital technologies while ensuring the digital rights of all citizens

Our Vision

To be Africa’s most influential and trustworthy source of information and support on digital rights


The Africa Digital Rights Hub is a not-for-profit “think and action tank” that promotes pan-African research and capacity building on digital rights. 

Interested in the impact of digital technology on people living on the continent, the Hub brings together academic researchers, stakeholders, policymakers, regional and international bodies to address digital rights issues in Africa.
