[kictanet] Calling on volunteers for the 2016 Kenya IGF steering team!

[Grace Githaiga]

The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual meeting
that brings together various stakeholder groups to dialogue on ICT and Internet
policy. While the discussions give soft policy outcomes, KIGF is a knowledge
sharing platform that informs and inspires policy actors in both the public and
private sectors. The national forum also feeds into the regional and global
IGFs through a chain of reporting and representation to the regional and global
IGFs to ensure a bottom up Internet policy development processes and a strong
link between global internet policies and the national one.

 

KICTANet wishes to invite volunteers from all stakeholder groups
to assist in preparation of the 2016 KIGF edition, which is slated for 12th
August 2016. The volunteers will form a local Multistakeholder Advisory Group that will be
expected to:

 

1.      Reach out to
the community to source community participation and KIGF subject focus areas.

2.      Lead online
discussions prior to the KIGF.

3.      Coordinate
logistics and fundraising for the meeting.

4.      Coordinate
the actual event.

5.      Report on
outcomes of the event.

 

To express interest, please send an email to info at kictanet.co.ke
