The African Union has been exploring the creation of a Data Protection Board, with the aim of promoting a continental approach to personal data protection. This council seeks to address the challenges posed by the increasing use of digital technologies and the cross-border flow of data.
The CNPD of Cabo Verde closely monitors the discussions on the implementation of this Council, recognizing its importance for:

• Establish common standards that harmonize national data protection legislation across African countries.
• Promote regional cooperation in combating privacy violations and strengthening cybersecurity.
• Create an African platform for the exchange of knowledge and best practices in data protection.

Cabo Verde's participation in this process underscores its commitment to African integration and to strengthening privacy rights on the continent, contributing to a more uniform and inclusive regulation.
