In recent years, the digital landscape in Africa has been rapidly evolving, with the Internet playing a pivotal role in shaping socio-economic development across the continent. One pivotal aspect of this evolution is the use of Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs). ccTLDs is crucial in defining a nation's online presence and digital identity.

<br>
Understand common challenges faced by African ccTLD registries, such as regulatory hurdles, technical infrastructure limitations, cybersecurity concerns, and competition from generic TLDs.<br>
<br>
Uncover the diverse opportunities offered by African ccTLDs, through case studies and expert analysis. This includes leveraging domains for economic development, promoting local content and businesses, fostering digital innovation, enhancing online security and trust, and contributing to a vibrant digital ecosystem across the continent.<br>
<br>
Gain insights into the policy frameworks governing ccTLD management and governance in Africa, as well as the importance of collaboration and partnership in enhancing ccTLD ecosystems, equipping participants to engage in policy discourse and collaborative endeavors</td>
