Privacy and data protection in Africa: a state of the art
A literature review is pivotal to any scientific research
or writing. Quite often a prudent researcher
may not embark on research or writing a
scientific piece of work without first reviewing
the literature. Yet this literature may sometimes
not be readily available, especially in a relatively
new area of scholarship, or its availability may be
challenging.

privacy and data protection in Africa as an emerging
field of law.
†I argue that currently this literature is underdeveloped.
†I offer a modest proposal that efforts have to be
directed towards training, researches, networking,
the creation of modern libraries, inter-country/
sub- or regional discussions and establishing
journals specifically dedicated to privacy and data
