The African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms is a Pan-African initiative to promote human rights standards and principles of openness in internet policy formulation and implementation on the continent. The idea for an African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms was agreed on, at the 2013 African Internet Governance Forum in Nairobi, Kenya.
It elaborates on the principles which are necessary to uphold human and people’s rights on the internet, and to cultivate an internet environment that can best meet Africa’s social and economic development needs and goals.
