Registration is still open for the *“Exploring African ccTLDs: Trends,
Challenges, and Opportunities”* Webinar that will take place on *18th April

The session will be moderated by Stephen Honlue, the Project Manager and

   4. Mr. Albert Kamga - Director of Standardisation and Cooperation , ANTIC

*Why should you Attend?*

One crucial aspect of Africa’s digital evolution is the use of Country Code
Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs). ccTLDs are crucial in defining a nation's
online presence and digital identity. This webinar will delve into the
trends, challenges, and opportunities surrounding African ccTLDs, shedding
light on their significance in the continent's digital journey.

At the end of the webinar, participants will:

   1. Gain insights into the current trends and developments shaping the
   African ccTLD landscape. This includes aspects such as registration
   patterns, domain growth, market dynamics, and emerging technologies
   impacting ccTLD management.
   2. Understand common challenges faced by African ccTLD registries, such
   as regulatory hurdles, technical infrastructure limitations, cybersecurity
   concerns, competition from generic TLDs and more.
   3. 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.
   4. 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 endeavours effectively.

Join us for an exciting panel discussion featuring representatives from
some Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) across Africa and get a
glimpse of how these institutions are influencing the direction of Africa's
digital landscape.
