About AfriSIG
The first AfriSIG was convened in 2013 in Durban, South Africa and the most recent, AfriSIG 2024, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia alongside the African IGF.
Over the years, AfriSIG has built a multidisciplinary cadre with expertise in internet governance through the participation of current and emerging leaders drawn from government, business, academia, the media, the technical community and civil society. The diversity of participants reflects the school’s objective of enhancing multistakeholder cooperation in national to global internet policy and development.
AfriSIG’s primary goal is to give Africans who are already active in internet governance or digital policy from various sectors and stakeholder groups the opportunity to gain knowledge that will enable them to participate effectively with increased confidence in national, regional and global internet and digital governance processes and debates.
