Listers,
The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual meeting that brings
together various stakeholder groups to dialogue on ICT and Internet Policy.
The forum brings together stakeholders from government, private sector,
technical community, academia and civil society to discuss ICT and Internet
policy issues on an equal footing through an open and inclusive process.
While the discussions give soft policy outcomes , the forum is a knowledge
sharing platform that informs and inspires actors in the Public and Private
Sectors. The national forum feeds into the regional and global fora through
a chain of reporting and representation to the regional and global IGFs to
ensure a bottom up Internet policy development process and a strong link
between global internet policies and the national one.
Kenya IGF 2020 will be virtual and will be held on 29th October 2020. The theme
for Kenya IGF 2020 is “Internet for human resilience and solidarity.†The
Subthemes will be :
(1) Data;
(2) Environment;
(3) Inclusion;
Kindly save the date. Details of the meeting platform and other logistics
will be communicated before the end of the week.
Our online discussions commence on Wednesday 14 October 2020 and will be
led by our alumni from the Kenya School of Internet Governance Keith
Andere, Winfred Anyona and Kelvin Kariuki. We look forward to your
contribution to the discussion which will set the stage for the Kenya
Internet Governance Forum 2020.
Thank you
Best Regards
