Curia Advisory helps organisations in Zimbabwe and the region understand and manage the legal obligations, governance risks, and compliance requirements that already exist — before enforcement arrives.
Curia Advisory is a dedicated AI Governance and Legal Technology advisory firm based in Harare, Zimbabwe. We exist because the regulatory landscape is moving faster than most organisations realise — and the legal obligations already in place are being consistently overlooked.
Zimbabwe's Cyber and Data Protection Act has been in force since 2021. The National AI Strategy 2026–2030 is now active, governed by the National AI Council, the AI Strategy Implementation Office, and the National Digital Regulatory Committee. We help organisations understand what this means for them — specifically and practically.
We help organisations build AI governance frameworks that are practical, legally grounded, and aligned with Zimbabwe's National AI Strategy and the Cyber and Data Protection Act. We assess current AI practices, identify governance gaps, and develop oversight structures that work in operational reality — not just on paper.
The Cyber and Data Protection Act 2021 already imposes obligations on every organisation that processes personal data — including where AI tools are involved. We help you understand what the Act requires, map your current practices against those obligations, and build compliance programmes that protect your organisation and the people your systems affect.
We produce written analysis, policy briefs, and regulatory horizon scanning for organisations that need to understand how AI regulation is developing — in Zimbabwe, across Southern Africa, and internationally. Our comparative expertise covers the EU AI Act, UNESCO frameworks, OECD principles, and how these interact with Zimbabwe's own regulatory instruments.
We design and deliver workshops and training programmes on AI governance, data protection awareness, and legal technology for legal teams, boards, compliance functions, and public institutions. Our training is grounded in Zimbabwe's specific regulatory context — not generic international content applied without adaptation.
Most organisations know AI is changing how they operate. Very few have mapped what that means for their legal obligations. The advisory capability to bridge that gap is rare — particularly in Zimbabwe, where the conversation is still forming.
Whether you are assessing your CDPA obligations, building an AI governance framework, or trying to understand what Zimbabwe's regulatory direction means for your organisation — the conversation starts here.
