[kictanet] KIGF Call For Topics

[Rosemary Koech-Kimwatu]

Happy Easter Listers,

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 bottom-up Internet policy development processes and a strong link
between global and local internet policies.

This year’s global IGF will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The global
IGF theme is ‘*Resilient Internet for a shared sustainable and common
future’.* The Kenya IGF theme is aligned to the global IGF theme and will
respond to the local context including the upcoming 2022 general election.
The Forum programme may be developed in line with the following global IGF
sub-themes, but through multistakeholder dialogue, listers can choose
topics that they feel are closer to home.

1.Connecting all People and Safeguarding Human Rights.
2. Avoiding Internet Fragmentation.
3. Governing Data Protection and Privacy.
4. Enabling Safety Security and. Accountability .
5. Addressing Advanced Technologies including AI.

On behalf of the local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), we'd be
interested to hear your views on the issues and topics that are a priority
for Kenya, and you think ought to be discussed during this year's Kenya
IGF.

The Kenya IGF shall be held on 30th June 2022.

Rosemary Chemutai Koech-Kimwatu
MAG Chairperson 2022
