Strategy for Africa?” which will take place on Thursday, November 15,

*Short Description *

The purpose of this workshop is to examine the role played by developing 
countries in general and Africa in particular in the last two years of 
the Internet governance discussions and to discuss what strategy should 
be adopted for the coming years, in order to insure that the interests 
of the billions of people living in the developing world are served. It 
is found particularly important to discuss about the strategy since the 
various stakeholders in the developing world (governments, private 
sector, civil society, etc.) have limited resources that put them at a 
disadvantage compared to their counterparts in the developed world.
