We are excited to announce that registration for the 2025 Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa (FIFAfrica25) is officially OPEN!
Taking place in Windhoek, Namibia, FIFAfrica25 comes at a pivotal time for Africa’s digital future. As governments, civil society, technologists, and the broader digital society and ecosystem grapple with the evolving dynamics of Artificial Intelligence, platform regulation, surveillance, and internet shutdowns as well as funding for digital rights and governance efforts, this year’s Forum offers a much-needed space for bold conversations, collaborative thinking, and collective action.
Building on the momentum from CIPESA’s and partners’ recent engagements at the regional and global Internet Governance Forums (IGF), contributions to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) +20 Summit, and preparations for the upcoming G20 Summit, the Forum will serve as a key bridge between global digital policy conversations with lived realities, governance priorities, and contexts within the African continent. As digital technologies shape Africa’s political, economic, and social landscape, safeguarding digital rights is essential to building inclusive, participatory, and democratic societies.
Key themes at FIFAfrica25 will include:
- AI, Digital Governance, and Human Rights
- Disinformation and Platform Accountability
- Internet Shutdowns
- Digital Inclusion
- Digital Trade in Africa
- Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)
- Digital Safety and Resilience
Since 2014, FIFAfrica has created a leading pan-African space for shaping digital rights, inclusion, and governance conversations. Whether you’re a returning member of the FIFAfrica family or joining us for the first time, we invite you to register now and be part of shaping the digital rights agenda on the continent.
