Greetings to all members of the African IGF Community:

Please be advised that this year African IGF will be organized
virtually, tentatively from 25 – 27 November 2020.

Further concrete information will be shared with you at the earliest
convenience.

“Those who are interested in organizing workshops/sessions during this
year virtual AfIGF-2020 are requested to submit the completed form of
the attached session proposal.

The form can also be accessed through the following link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScn60Aj9QdGuSRtH841pDV5Zv3TiCDDZdei_AGUEGgV6qXpgA/viewform


Feel free to submit through either Google Docs or using email addressed
to those in Cc.”

The objective is to have sessions/ workshops that can facilitate debates
and raise awareness around the overall thematic focus area - centered
around the Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa 2020-2030, as per
attached copies of the said Strategy (English and French versions). The
exact theme of this year edition of the African IGF will be taken from
the received proposals based on the topic that has the highest score
amongst all received proposals.  Determination of sub-themes will follow
the same process.

  The African IGF MAG would like to ensure that:

-        Participants of this year forum are well equipped and ready to
actively participate during the main/breakaway sessions;

-        Due to limited session slots, the African MAG will review all
applications for parallel and main sessions and make determinations
accordingly;

-        Submission of applications within the next 10 days will be
highly appreciated – no later than 15 September 2020.

We look forward to receiving your proposals.

Kind regards,

AfIGF Secretariat​
