Dar es Salaam. Tanzania's ambition to build a $1 trillion economy by 2050 will depend not only on expanding digital technologies but also on strengthening personal data protection to build public trust in the country's rapidly growing digital economy, experts have said.
Speaking at the opening of the first National Privacy and Personal Data Protection Conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday, officials said trusted digital systems and robust data governance would be crucial in achieving the country's long-term development goals.
Presenting the keynote address, National Planning Commission acting manager for Infrastructure and Services, Mr Josiah Mwabeza, said digital transformation had been identified as one of the five key drivers of Tanzania's Development Vision 2050.
