2. The global nature of the Internet and the transfer of digital information across borders brings an international dimension to discussions around data. The generation, collection, storage, transfer and processing of data (including personally identifiable data) have enabled new social, cultural, and economic opportunities than ever previously imagined. At the same time, the massive collection, transfer  and processing of data (in particular through the application of algorithms/AI/machine learning) by public as well as private entities pose challenges around privacy, freedom of expression and the exercise of other human rights. Today in Kenya there are two pieces of legislation on Data Protection in both houses of parliament. What are your thoughts on our interactions with data in light of the above mentioned dynamics?

3. Data and human rights are today intertwined, would you consider as the  best approaches to ensure the development of human-centric data governance frameworks at national, regional and international levels. How can we  support and operationalize the exercise of human rights and the empowerment of individuals in their digital identity in current uses and the development of data-drivent technologies? 

4. Kindly give consideration on  how conditions needed to facilitate data-driven innovation can be created, to ensure competition, and to foster trust in the development of services and new technologies, including through the use of inclusive data and the fulfillment of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

We look forward to hearing from you.
