DARE 💪 PARTICIPATE 🤝 WIN 🏆
Welcome to the Unwanted Witness Privacy Moot Court Competition, an esteemed platform established in 2022 by the Unwanted Witness.
In its mission to champion the cause of privacy protection in the digital age, the Unwanted Witness Privacy Moot Court Competition has grown into one of East Africa’s premier academic platforms for nurturing legal talent and advancing dialogue on emerging issues in privacy and data protection law.
Since its inception, the competition has provided a unique opportunity for law students to engage critically with the intersection of technology, governance, and human rights.
The competition began as a national initiative in Uganda and has progressively expanded to include universities across East Africa. The previous edition marked a milestone by bringing together universities from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda in a regional competition addressing the privacy implications of national digital identification systems.
19th - 26th Sept, 2026. Hosted by Uganda Christian University.
The Wait Is Over ... Moot 2026 Is Here😊
The 5th Edition of the Unwanted Witness Privacy Moot Court Competition represents another important milestone in advancing legal education and regional collaboration on privacy and data protection in East Africa.
The competition will focus on data protection in digital financial services and fintech ecosystems, addressing one of the most urgent legal challenges of the digital economy. As mobile financial services and fintech platforms reshape the way people access credit, transfer money, and participate in the economy, strong legal frameworks are essential to ensure that innovation does not come at the expense of privacy and human rights.
