Africa IGF Parliamentary Track
The Parliamentary Track at Africa IGF brings together Members of Parliament from across the African continent and beyond to engage in critical discussions on Internet governance, digital rights, and policy frameworks.
This track provides a platform for legislators to share national and regional experiences, foster alignment on digital regulations, and explore opportunities for cross-border cooperation. It aims to strengthen the role of policymakers in advancing inclusive, secure, and rights-based digital development across Africa.
By connecting with civil society, technical communities, and the private sector, the Parliamentary Track reinforces multi-stakeholder collaboration in shaping the continent’s digital future.
