Cyberlaw and data protection norms in Senegal are increasingly recognised as crucial for safeguarding digital rights and interests within Southern Africa's diverse legal landscape. The research employed participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis to gather insights from key stakeholders including legislators, policymakers, and civil society organizations involved in cybersecurity and data privacy initiatives. A notable theme emerged regarding the harmonization of cyberlaw frameworks across Southern Africa, with Senegal serving as a leading example for implementing robust data protection standards. This study highlights the potential for regional collaboration to strengthen cyberlaw and data protection norms, particularly in addressing cross-border data flows and ensuring digital rights are upheld. Policymakers should prioritise stakeholder engagement in developing comprehensive cyberlaw frameworks that balance innovation with safeguarding individual privacy rights.
