Internet Society

This past week, our team traveled to Accra, Ghana for the Africa Internet Governance Forum (#AfIGF).

There, we had conversations about meaningful connectivity, community-centered solutions, and protecting digital infrastructure. We connected with community members, partners, and our local chapter. We discussed funding opportunities, best practices, and challenges.

Thank you to everyone who attended our sessions and engaged with us this week. Together, we can build an Internet for everyone—in Africa and beyond.🌍

Young people in Madagascar are connecting to the world in powerful new ways, but often without the skills to navigate digital risks safely.

In 2024, in partnership with local nonprofits and the national cybercrime police, @ISOC_Madagascar launched its Digital Safety and Responsible Online Behavior Workshop, attracting 138 students and young professionals.

Participants took part in expert-led discussions and group activities covering best practices. Topics included verifying information, addressing cyberbullying, securing accounts, and identifying scams. Trainers also covered digital law and where people can report cybercrimes.

As more of the population goes online, digital threats continue to grow—and so does the importance of online safety education. Learn more about our work to advance a safer Internet: internetsociety.org/blog/2026/08/a…
