Tech Policy Advisory

Africa's digital policy intelligence | Tracking Laws, Bills & Regulations across 40+ African countries | Serving founders, investors & policymakers.

[Tech Policy Advisory @TechPolicyAdvsy]

Most people only hear about new tech laws in Africa after they’ve been passed. By then, it’s compliance stress, missed opportunities, or regulatory shock.

Tracking legislation across 50+ African countries shouldn’t require inside contacts or endless digging through broken portals.

So we built Africa Tech Policy Tracker. https://t.co/as5zrOq4K7

500+ digital economy laws, policy shifts & compliance obligations, all in one place, made simple and searchable.

Live at the Stakeholder Session on Ministerial Advisory Council for Cybersecurity Coordination by the @FMCIDENigeria

[Tech Policy Advisory @TechPolicyAdvsy]

Lagos State released its Cybersecurity Guidelines 2025.

The guidelines set out practical steps for SMEs, large organisations, and MDAs to manage cybersecurity, from basic protections such as MFA and backups to governance, risk management, and incident response.

The Guidelines also align with existing frameworks (NDPA and Cybercrime Act).

We are currently in the "adding AI to a toaster" phase of tech development.
Our job is essentially reminding people that just because you can automate the liability away, doesn't mean the regulators won't find exactly where you buried it.

🇷🇼 Rwanda
Rwanda's Senate is considering the deployment of digital ankle bracelets as an alternative sanction for minor offences. Lawmakers say electronic monitoring could help address prison overcrowding while ensuring safeguards for privacy and fair trial rights.

[Tech Policy Advisory @TechPolicyAdvsy]

🇨🇫 Central African Republic
The Central African Republic has launched the Dûnîa platform to digitise government HR and budget management processes. The open-source system is expected to reduce processing times by 70% and cut costs by 30%, forming part of the country's 2024–2028 development plan.

[Tech Policy Advisory @TechPolicyAdvsy]

🇨🇩 DR Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo is moving to tighten oversight of online content. Authorities have raised concerns over rising hate speech and disinformation, with prosecutors directed to enforce existing laws on defamation, harassment, threats, and incitement under the Digital Code.

[Tech Policy Advisory @TechPolicyAdvsy]

🇰🇪 Kenya
Kenya's Court of Appeal has struck down provisions of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act that criminalised publishing "false or misleading information" online. The court ruled the sections unconstitutional, citing risks to press freedom and freedom of expression.

🇬🇭 Ghana
Ghana's central bank and securities regulator have warned against unauthorised promotion of virtual assets and stablecoins. Virtual Asset Service Providers — including those in regulatory sandboxes — must suspend public marketing activities until they receive explicit regulatory approval.

[Tech Policy Advisory @TechPolicyAdvsy]

🇷🇼 Rwanda
Rwanda's Cabinet has approved a draft law regulating virtual assets. The framework defines virtual assets, excludes them from legal tender status, and requires authorisation for payment services involving them, aligning with FATF anti-money laundering standards.
