[NIGF SECRETARIAT]

Dear Nigerian Internet Stakeholder,

The application for the West African School on Internet Governance is 
now ongoing and you are specially invited to apply.

The ECOWAS Commission as the Secretariat for the West Africa Internet 
Governance Forum (WAIGF) along with the WAIGF Team plan to organise the 
14th edition of the West African Internet Governance Forum (WAIGF) from 
26 to 27 May 2022. To precede the WAIGF is the 5th West African School 
on Internet Governance (WASIG) to be organised from 23 to 25 May 2022.

Curriculum:

The school is structured as a three (3) day intensive learning program 
intended to introduce participants to Internet governance (IG) from the 
global and West African perspective. The format will include fireside 
discussions with experts in the field and participation in the Policy 
and Regulation Initiative for Digital Africa's (PRIDA) virtual training 
platform. Certificates will be issued to participants who successfully 
complete the training. The key areas covered by the program are:

  	* Evolution of the Internet and history of IG
  	* Mapping of IG processes and actors
  	* Classifications of IG issues (infrastructure, legal, economic and 
development) from African contexts
  	* In-depth analysis of opportunities and challenges of emerging issues 
(cybersecurity, digital economy, human rights) from the West African 
context
  	* A practical exercise on a key Internet Governance issue affecting 
West Africa

Applications: Stakeholders from West Africa are invited to apply. 
Prospective candidates should ideally be involved as key actors or 
decision-makers in Internet governance or ICT policy processes. They 
should also be able to contribute now or soon to IG activities or/and 
processes within their institutions, countries, continent and globally.

Women and youth are particularly encouraged to apply. Spaces are 
limited. Candidates are kindly requested to complete the online form [1]
