Call for Proposals: Data Governance in Africa Research Fund

Mozilla Foundation and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), African Union, under the Data Governance in
Africa Initiative have collaborated in a project to increase awareness on
and support the domestication of the African Union Data Policy
Framework (AU-DPF).
The AU-DPF was endorsed by the Executive Council of the Commission at its
40th Ordinary Session in February 2022. The framework aims to boost the
development of human rights-respecting, sustainable and inclusive
data-driven economies through the creation of a common data space and
interoperable data governance mechanisms.

They are looking to recruit four (4) African-based researchers to undertake
research that will respond to current data governance trends in the region
and identify policy recommendations in one of the four topic areas listed
under the scope of work. Researchers will work with the Mozilla 2025 Senior
Africa fellow to each conduct an empirical study proposed according to
their expertise.

Four research grants of USD 10,000 each, will be made to support the
production of the reports and the dissemination of the research findings to
key stakeholders.
