Now more than ever, cybersecurity and data privacy concerns underpin every aspect of our digital lives. The Liberia IGF brings together some of Liberia’s top thinkers to discuss how privacy and security intersect with artificial intelligence, smart cities, and Internet of Things (IoT), the impact on businesses, and the role youth can play in the evolution of the internet.
With the convergence of Liberia expertise across stakeholder groups, the Liberia IGF presents a unique opportunity to continue the national-level dialogue on internet policy issues.
We had approximately 200 attendees for the 2019 event, with representation across stakeholder groups. In particular, the Liberia IGF is conducting outreach with the intent to target groups of Liberian stakeholders that tackle these interconnected issues in various sectors.
The planning committee will be actively seeking to support the continued conversation in media online and off.
The outcome of this meeting will made into a report featuring a statement of priorities for Liberian businesses and end users who engage in internet governance domestically and abroad. The document will focus on finding common ground underpinned Liberia internet development and issues/values.
The report will also outline considerations for the Liberia IGF and mechanisms for ongoing collaboration of the Liberia internet community going forward.
