Data Protection Awareness
Helping people and organizations understand and protect personal data.
Why it matters in Somalia
Every app, mobile money account and online service collects personal data. Many users do not know what they are sharing, who can see it, or how it could be misused.
We raise awareness of privacy and data protection, and help people and organizations handle personal information responsibly, so trust in Somalia’s digital services can grow.
