The Global Privacy Assembly (GPA), formerly known as the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners, 1 is the leading global forum of data protection and privacy authorities. Since its creation, the GPA has played an essential role in promoting international standards and exchanging knowledge on data protection and privacy.
The CNPD of Cabo Verde is an active member of the GPA, participating in global discussions on emerging challenges in the field of privacy and data protection. Through this integration, Cabo Verde has access to an international forum to:

• Share experiences and best practices with other data protection authorities
• Contribute to the development of global guidelines and recommendations that directly impact the strengthening of national policies.
• Establish technical cooperation in areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and digital privacy.

CNPD's participation in the GPA reflects Cabo Verde's commitment to align with international best practices and strengthen its presence in the discussion of global issues on privacy and data protection.
