DRIF offers a forum where discussions on digital rights, inclusion, and policy are shaped, policy trajectories are discussed, and partnerships are forged for action.
DRIF Forum has been crucial in establishing the scene for delving into Africa's digital landscape, discussing current issues, and showcasing solutions.
Every year, Paradigm Initiative and partners build on engagements from previous editions to build tangible solutions that address major digital rights and inclusion concerns.
The event brings together representatives from the government, legislature, civil society, non-governmental organisations, activists, academia, the technical community, and the private sector to address various topics centred on digital inclusion and rights.
DRIF has established itself as the arena for tough topical global issues around Internet rights, especially in Africa, consolidating views from civil society, technology companies, government, academia, and other stakeholders.
