Welcome to the premier digital and internet policy forum in Liberia
The Liberian Internet Governance Forum (Liberia IGF) is Liberia’s leading multistakeholder forum for digital policy dialogue.
The IGF conferences have proved their worth as global discussion platforms, bringing all stakeholders around the same issues in a bottom‑up, open process. It is just as important to debate internet issues at the national level, with government, the private sector, civil society, academia and the technical community all taking part.
This annual event takes place each year in Monrovia and brings together over 500 representatives from government, civil society and the private sector to tackle the most pressing public policy issues facing the internet.
The Liberia IGF is the national initiative of the global, United Nations‑convened Internet Governance Forum, which meets each year in a different part of the world. The Liberia IGF produces a report setting out the national priorities of the Liberian stakeholders in attendance, and that report is fed into the global IGF.
