Four African digital rights-centred networks have committed to increasing collaboration for the consolidation of their work and avoidance of duplication of activities while ensuring the full attainment and protection of digital rights at national, regional and global levels.
Representatives from the African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms Coalition, (AfDec), #KeepItOn Coalition, Access Now, NetRights Coalition and African Internet Rights Alliance (AIRA) shared their experiences working for the promotion and protection of digital rights on the continent.
They made the commitment during a pre-session titled “Defining a collective digital rights strategy for Africa”, hosted collaboratively by the World Alliance for Citizen Participation (CIVICUS) and the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) at this year’s Stockholm Internet Forum (SIF).
