Call for Topics- 2021 Kenya Internet Governance Forum Kenya's premier Internet Policy event

Greetings Listers, The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual meeting that brings together various stakeholder groups to dialogue on ICT and Internet policy. While the discussions give soft policy outcomes, Kenya Internet Governance Forum is a knowledge-sharing platform that informs and inspires policy actors in both the public and private sectors. The national forum also feeds into the regional and global IGFs 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. This year, we will have a hybrid (Virtual and Physical) meeting on the 24th to 26th August in Nairobi.
