The AfriSIG aims to give Africans from diverse sectors and stakeholder groups the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to participate effectively in internet governance (IG) processes and debates nationally, regionally and globally. It contributes towards increasing the diversity, extent, quality and effectiveness of African participation in IG by creating a space that promotes multistakeholder learning and dialogue. The School responds to the challenge of inadequate participation by African and women stakeholders in the IG sphere, building knowledge across stakeholder groups and Africa's sub-regions by fostering dialogue on complex issues towards mainstreaming African and women’s perspectives to global internet governance.
