Digital Rights

Digital Rights

Since 2017, we have worked to advance Internet Freedom – proposing policy solutions and monitoring the legal and policy framework around ICTs across Africa to ensure that citizens’ rights are protected online. With strong competencies in ICT capacity building, research and reports, we have trained numerous non-profit organisations and educational institutions in the use of ICTs for digital security, online and social media advocacy, etc.

Our Digital Rights Academy Program focuses on building the capacity of Africa civil society organisations, journalists, advocates and others to understand, advocate and defend digital rights on the continent.
