The Cyber and Data Protection (Licensing of Data Controllers and Appointment of Data Protection Officers) Regulations, 2024 (Statutory Instrument 155 of 2024) operationalise the Cyber and Data Protection Act, requiring any person or organisation that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data to obtain a data controller licence from the Data Protection Authority (POTRAZ), appoint a certified Data Protection Officer, and comply with obligations covering data security, breach notification, children's data, and codes of conduct. NANGO shares these regulations as a resource for member organisations, since licensing is tiered by the number of data subjects processed (from a minimum of 50 up to over 500,000), carries prescribed fees, and non-compliance attracts significant fines or imprisonment. Members are encouraged to review the regulations, available in full below, and to assess promptly whether their organisation is required to license as a data controller and appoint a Data Protection Officer.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Volume 5, Issue 3 of the Development Watch Newsletter, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices, experiences, and innovations of Zimbabwe’s civil society sector. This edition comes at a time when our collective commitment to sustainable development, civic engagement, and inclusive governance continues to define the resilience and impact of our sector.
Over the past months, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) under the NANGO umbrella have continued to demonstrate remarkable leadership in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting human rights, and strengthening community resilience. From grassroots initiatives improving livelihoods and access to essential services, to national-level advocacy shaping policy reforms, CSOs remain at the forefront of driving people-centred development.
