The East Africa Community in partnership with the Internet Society Uganda Chapter will on September 11 -12, 2024 host the East Africa Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF) at Serena Hotel, Kampala, Uganda under the theme “Building our Multistakeholder Digital Future for East Africa.”
The two-day meeting is a multi-stakeholder forum that brings together representatives from the government, media, private sector, civil society, technical community, academia and individuals interested in shaping the discussion on how the Internet is governed in East Africa.
The forum aims at creating awareness and instituting a consensus building process to develop a common understanding of the region’s Internet governance issues, as well as building policy-making capacity to enable meaningful participation in global Internet policy, governance and development processes.
This year, the Forum aims at addressing the following pertinent issues to include:
- Harnessing innovation and balancing risks in the digital space.
- Enhancing the digital contribution to peace, development, and sustainability.
- Advancing human rights and inclusion in the digital age.
- Improving digital governance for the Internet We Want.
The secretariat thus invites interested parties to submit session proposals to shape the agenda of the EAIGF2024. The call for proposals shall remain open until July 10 2024. (Proposals submitted after the deadline will not be accepted).
Successful session proposals will be directly notified by July 17, 2024.
