On a global scale, the leaders are now harnessing the power of the Internet to drive growth in nearly any area of life, AFRICA does not escape from this reality. Over the past decade, the Internet has transformed education, healthcare, and public services, bringing the benefits of digital connectivity to millions of people across the continent.
However, as the Internet continues to evolve, it is essential to ensure its long-term sustainability, stability, and security. This program leverages the skills and experiences of our stakeholders in Internet Governance and other fields, ensuring that they take an active part in global Internet governance discussions.
AFRINIC, supports national and regional Internet Governance Forums and other Internet-related Initiatives that maximize the opportunity for an open and inclusive dialogue between Internet stakeholders. By working together, we are building a more resilient and robust Internet that serves the needs of all Africans.
