To:

Dear all,

Apologies for cross posting incase you receive this on other mailing lists.

Last month, the Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) hosted the Forum on Internet Freedoms in East Africa 2014 in Kampala, Uganda. The forum drew participants from Burundi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

The forum discussed the status of online freedoms in East Africa, including legal and extra-legal threats to the enjoyment of internet freedoms in the region and also drew recommendations for advancing a free, open and secure internet in East Africa. Please see event report here; http://www.cipesa.org/?wpfb_dl=83

The forum also served as the launch of the State of Internet Freedoms in East Africa 2014 research report. (Please see report here; http://opennetafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/researchandpubs/Report%20on%20the%20Forum%20on%20Internet%20Freedoms%20in%20East%20Africa%202014.pdf). The report produced under the OpenNet Africa Initiative - opennetafrica.org presents the findings of an exploratory study on policy developments and actions related to internet freedoms in Burundi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda over the period 2009 to April 2014.

Please feel free to share among your networks.

Kind regards,
