The Africa Digital Rights’ Hub is a not-for-profit think tank registered in Ghana that advances and promotes research and advocacy on digital rights across the African continent. Interested in the impact of digital technology on people living in the Continent, the Hub brings together academic researchers, stakeholders, policy makers, regional and international bodies to address digital rights issues in Africa.
Our goal is to promote ‘afro-centric’ solutions by empirical evidence gathered through research. The objective is to ensure that Africans are not left behind or exploited in the protection and guarantee of fundamental rights in the digital age.
The Hub’s aim is to set up a center that facilitates African-led research into digital rights issues to help adopt solutions (policy/legal) that are best suitable for our peculiar problems and to build capacity for the whole Continent.

To reach the various goals of the aforementioned areas, the Hub runs the following programs:
