THE

COALITION

FOR DIGITAL AFRICA

is an initiative that aims to bring together stakeholders to expand the Internet in Africa.

The Coalition promotes innovation and encourages entrepreneurial efforts aimed at strengthening Internet infrastructure to support the development of Africa’s digital economy.

Three
Focus Areas

The Coalition for Digital Africa seeks to expand the reach of information and knowledge while avoiding duplication of efforts.

Working together, we tackle vital issues such as Internet accessibility, affordability, infrastructure, local content creation, and capacity development.

A Robust Domain Name System (DNS) Infrastructure in Africa

Securing the stability of the DNS, thereby strengthening the Internet infrastructure in Africa and enhancing its security and resiliency.

Capacity Development

Equipping Africa’s workforce with the skills and knowledge necessary to participate in the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.

Meaningful Connectivity

Fostering multilingualism and encouraging local content development in Africa.

Multiplying The

BENEFITS

Collaboration lies at the heart of the Coalition for Digital Africa's mission. Since our launch in December 2022, we have achieved significant milestones across our eight initiatives by strengthening DNS infrastructure, enhancing meaningful connectivity, and building capacity. This video, featuring a few of our valued partners, highlights the power of partnership in advancing Africa's digital transformation.

The Coalition for Digital Africa will create affinity among Internet access providers, content providers, public and private sector actors, and others to enable an Internet that is useful and empowering for people across Africa.

By working together, pooling resources, and helping each stakeholder develop specific capacities, the benefits provided through each initiative will be maximized.
