Dear Listers,
Greetings from KICTANet <https://www.kictanet.or.ke/about-kictanet/>!
As we count down to the Africa Tech Policy Summit, we are pleased to announce a side event. KICTANet, in partnership with Small Media Foundation, <https://smallmedia.org.uk/> are hosting an advocacy engagement focused on building capacity of civil society organizations on the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Process <https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/upr/basic-facts>. The engagement is scheduled for Tuesday, 13th, May 2025 from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Sarova Stanley <https://maps.app.goo.gl/yqZLNsvG5rr3oL8C8>, in Nairobi.
This engagement follows KICTANet’s recent advocacy at the 49th Pre-session of the UPR in Geneva and aims to bridge international digital rights commitments with local action. We are pleased to invite you to attend the session and gain insights on the UPR process and to contribute to discussions on localising international advocacy efforts.
