Data Governance
Data on the platform is governed by the NFMS/FIP Data Sharing Protocol: originating institutions keep ownership, KFS is the custodian, every institution names a Data Steward, and access is given at three levels (public, internal, restricted) in line with the Data Protection Act, 2019.
