Platform for African Civil Society to Talk about Internet Governance.

Purpose

This purpose of this site is to serve as a platform that will help garner African civil society's views and contributions to ICT policy and internet governance issues and processes, with a special focus on the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) and the proposed review of the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) that will take place in December 2012.

Goal

The goal of this undertaking is to build awareness, understanding and engagement among African civil society organisations around the WCIT, the proposed revisions to the ITRs and the 'state' of internet governance from more broadly. It is hoped that this platform will facilitate and further African civil society's engagement with internet governance processes at national, regional and global levels while enabling them to contribute to shaping the future development of the internet and telecommunications.
