About CSEA Africa's Data Future Fellowship

The Africa’s Data Future Fellowship was established by CSEA, a Nigerian research and policy think tank, to strengthen the skills and knowledge of emerging professionals working in or interested in data governance and digital policy.

The programme responds to the rapidly changing digital environment across Africa and aims to help participants understand how data resources are governed, shared, and used.

Through the fellowship, participants will engage with issues that are increasingly important to Africa’s digital development, including data rights, infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and control over data resources.
