African Data and AI Sovereignty for Sensitive Health and Humanitarian Data

Theme: Advancing Ethical Governance for Sensitive Health and Humanitarian Data

Tangaza University is pleased to announce the upcoming African Data & AI Sovereignty Conference, a continental forum dedicated to strengthening Africa’s leadership in ethical data governance and responsible AI. This event will convene policymakers, researchers, humanitarian organisations, technologists, and academic institutions committed to building secure, sovereign, and interoperable data ecosystems for the continent.

About the Conference
Across Africa, sensitive health and humanitarian data are often stored abroad, fragmented across incompatible systems, or inaccessible to local institutions. This creates barriers to research, crisis response, and long‑term innovation.

This conference will spotlight African‑led solutions, including the emerging African Humanitarian and Health Data Space, a model that keeps data with its producers while enabling secure, FAIR‑aligned knowledge generation.

Participants will explore:

• Ethical and technical foundations for sovereign data spaces.
• FAIR and FAIR‑OLR principles for sensitive data.
• Responsible AI for health and humanitarian action.
• Cross‑continental academic and policy collaboration.
• Capacity building for African universities and institutions.
