Challenges of Digital Sovereignty in Africa
In Africa, the issue of digital sovereignty has become critical in the era of full digitalization. Today, nearly 95% of African data is not hosted on the continent, but rather in cloud infrastructures and servers located abroad. This situation presents several major challenges: cybersecurity risks, technological dependence on foreign providers, and concerns over data privacy. Indeed, when a country’s data is stored overseas, it loses partial control over the protection of this strategic information.
