Between 3 and 9 September, 60 participants from 26 countries gathered in N’Djamena, Chad, for the seventh African School on Internet Governance (AfriSIG), a week of peer learning-based sessions that included hands-on experience which fellows had the opportunity to apply at the African Internet Governance Forum, which took place right after.
How does the internet work? What is an internet protocol? What types of disruptions do we face and what causes them? These were some of the questions addressed at the School, which focused on internet architecture and address management, as well as basic internet governance concepts, issues and institutions, among many other issues.
