## Forum For Internet Freedom in Africa 2025

Building the #InternetFreedomAfrica Community

**Advancing digital rights in Africa and promoting the multi-stakeholder model of internet governance**

The Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) is pleased to announce the 12th edition of the annual Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa (#FIFAfrica25)—the continent’s leading platform for shaping digital rights, inclusion, and governance conversations. This year, the Forum is headed to **Windhoek, Namibia**, a beacon of press freedom, gender equity, and progressive jurisprudence, and will take place on **September 24–26, 2025**.

FIFAfrica25 will delve into the evolving digital landscape in Africa and cast a light on the most pressing internet freedom issues today. The Forum offers a unique, multi-stakeholder platform where key stakeholders, including policymakers, journalists, global platform operators, telecommunications companies, regulators, human rights defenders, academia, and law enforcement representatives, convene to deliberate and craft rights-based responses for a resilient and inclusive digital society for Africans.
