Promoting and Monitoring Internet Freedoms in Africa

Collaboration on International ICT Policy in East and Southern Africa (CIPESA)

The project monitors and promotes internet freedoms in a number of African countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda. Our work involves establishing the status of intermediary liability (legislative, policy, practice), and reporting on an ongoing basis about any changes there could be. Furthermore, we document and publicise internet rights violations; and review how current cyber security policies and legislations in selected African countries enhance, or undermine, internet freedom through a one-stop web platform for researchers and practitioners to access reports and news on internet rights violations in Africa.
