In June and July 2025, the Data Protection and Privacy Office conducted a series of consultation workshops on developing sector-specific guidelines for implementing Rwanda’s Law on the Protection of Personal Data & Privacy.
Sessions engaged key stakeholders from the Health, Media, Education, telecommunications network and services, Public, Research and finance sectors in reviewing, validating, and contributing to the creation of tailored Data Protection and Privacy Guides.
This collaborative platform allowed participants to discuss the unique data protection challenges within the respective sectors, ensuring the guidelines are practical, relevant, and aligned with the sectors’ operational realities. The initiative aims to strengthen compliance and promote responsible handling of personal data across the different ecosystems.
