# AfIGF 2020: Draft Agenda Ninth African IGF

The agenda featured plenary sessions, workshops, and lightning talks focused on key topics such as data governance, connectivity challenges, digital economy, online safety, and youth inclusion in policy processes. Sessions were designed to encourage cross-sectoral collaboration and practical policy recommendations for strengthening Africa’s Internet ecosystem.

The 9th African Internet Governance Forum (AfIGF 2020) was held virtually from 25th to 27th November 2020, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Despite being fully online, the forum maintained high levels of engagement from stakeholders across government, private sector, civil society, academia, and the technical community. Participants discussed Africa's digital resilience, inclusion, and innovation in the face of the pandemic.
