Bringing the voice of youth on the digital world to you from +35 countries. We talk about policies and governance, with a focus on online safety, cybersecurity skills, online fakes and all the hottest internet issues. Our opinions are drafted by young professionals from the Youth IGF community.
The African continent is facing pressing digital transformation challenges. The lack of connectivity, digital infrastructure and digital skills, as well as digital divide and gender inequality are among those issues that need to be addressed in the near future. The IGF gives different African stakeholders an opportunity to unite and jointly think of possible solutions for the better digital development of the region.
