THE INTERNET SOCIETY URGES AFRICAN POLICYMAKERS TO INVEST IN INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE
The internet society has called on African policymakers to adopt policies and frameworks that expand access and create greater demand for the internet. The Internet Society promotes open dialogue on internet policy, technology, and future development among users, companies, governments, and organizations.
Dawit Bekele, Africa Regional Bureau Director for the Internet Society, said Africa sits at a tipping point for internet expansion. But to take advantage of the social and economic opportunities that can come with that, it is important for the right policies to be put in place. He said policymakers have a critical role to play in creating an environment that enables investment in internet infrastructure and ensure that the internet is used to address Africa’s development challenges.
He said the Society will advocate for greater collaboration among decision-makers in creating an accessible, trusted Internet that benefits all Africans.
