Paradigm Initiative, in collaboration with the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) and the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law (CIPIT), has organized the 10th edition of the Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum (DRIF23).
DRIF23: Building a sustainable internet for all
DRIF23 aims to tackle critical digital challenges including internet shutdowns, universal service fund utilization, data protection, content moderation, and censorship.
The forum will feature 70 sessions with discussions being followed by 600 delegates from more than 44 countries.
The forum will be hosted in Kenya for the first time this year and is set to take place at Sarova Stanley Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, from April 12 - April 14, 2023
