  The growth of Information Technology(IT) in Africa has led to an increase in
the utilization of communication networks for data transaction across the
continent. A growing number of entities in the private sector, academia, and
government, have deployed the Internet as a medium to transact in data,
routinely posting statistical and non statistical data online and thereby
making many in Africa increasingly dependent on the Internet for data
transactions. In the country of Uganda, exponential growth in data transaction
has presented a new challenge: What is the most efficient way to implement data
privacy. This article discusses data privacy challenges faced by the country of
Uganda and implementation of data privacy techniques for published tabular
data. We make the case for data privacy, survey concepts of data privacy, and
implementations that could be employed to provide data privacy in Uganda.
