Cross-border data sharing for research in Africa: an analysis of the data protection and research ethics requirements in 12 jurisdictions
Given the limitations of the current models of consent, consent is not a suitable basis to transfer large quantities of data for research. Adequacy is a common ground, but there are national differences in the implementation of this ground. Researchers must therefore analyse each national legal framework and make decisions on a case-by-case and country-by-country basis.
