About the forum 

The series of events that will take place during this year’s programme will begin with the Parliamentarian Symposium, which is scheduled to take place from September 18-19, 2023. During this event, members of the Parliament from all of the participating countries will have the opportunity to consult and network with one another in a roundtable discussion that is designed to better understand the roles of the legislature, and to nudge deeper synergy with parliaments on Internet Governance in Africa.

AfIGF 2023 promises to be a rare assemblage of key stakeholders from government, civil society, academia, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector, and a broad spectrum of actors in the private sector intentionally rallied to discuss important matters focused on the development, access, and governance of the Internet in Africa. This is a crucial gathering of stakeholders and investors in Africa’s digital future.

The Internet Governance Forum is a vibrant and inclusive platform that brings together stakeholders from across the African continent and other international partners, to engage in discussions that will shape the future of Internet Governance. The Forum is structured in a variety of gatherings, including dialogues, workshops, panel sessions, symposia, and roundtables, among other types of events.
