A piece of legislation which sets out a robust legal template for data protection in Ethiopia has got the nod of the country’s federal House of Representatives. According to local media reports, the Personal Data Protection Proclamation (PDPP) was passed on April 4.
Ethiopia’s National ID Program (NIDP) hailed the move in a post on X, calling it “an important step” that sets up the country on the part of better safeguarding the data privacy of citizens and ensuring international compliance as it looks to swell up its digital ID issuance numbers.
