Dear Judith, Greetings. I've seen this call for a DRIF session during the upcoming conference in Accra-Ghana. I am interested in attending and also to present a paper on Data and Human Rights. It is work I have been involved in with Stanford UNiversity for the past 2 years and we will be launching short courses at Strathmore University in partnership with them. Kind regards Rosemary Okello-Orlale On Wed, Dec 13, 2023 at 2:39 PM Judith Ogutu via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
