Lebanon IGF platform would foster national multistakeholder dialogue and collaboration with the global Internet community on public policy for the Internet. Outputs from the Lebanese IGF (LIGF) will be presented to the Internet Governance Forum.
LIGF is a national Internet Governance Forum initiative devoted to open, inclusive and transparent dialogue on internet governance issues among all stake-holders in Lebanon. LIGF emanated from the need to gather relevant stakeholders from the country in one place to discuss the current state , necessities and emerging internet related issues in Lebanon. LIGF intends to learn from best practices of the global IGF. Lebanon IGF will encourage all actors to actively participate in the process.
LIGF for its first forum, chose the theme "LIGF, a step towards achieving SDGs". When selecting panels for the program agenda, the Lebanon Multistakeholder Group (LMAG) will adopt a participatory approach that includes multi-stakeholders participation from civil society, academia, private and public sectors. The MAG will also ensure gender and generation balance.
Objectives:
- Engage the community in discussing Internet Governance issues
- Facilitate a multistakeholder dialogue between different bodies dealing with the internet to share expertise, best practices and to identify common grounds
- Highlight the importance of the role of the internet in developing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
