Through open dialogue and inclusive participation, TzIGF ensures that Tanzania’s experiences contribute to regional and global Internet governance processes while international developments are reflected in national priorities.
Internet governance refers to the development and application of shared principles, norms, rules, and decision-making processes that shape how the Internet evolves and is used.
Since its establishment in 2009, TzIGF has served as Tanzania’s recognized space for multistakeholder engagement on Internet and digital governance matters. It promotes cooperation, strengthens trust, and supports informed decision-making.
The Internet affects education, business, health, government services, innovation, and social interaction. TzIGF ensures that different voices can participate in shaping how these systems function.
TzIGF is implemented within a broader framework known as Tanzania Internet Governance Week (TIGW). The week expands participation across different segments of society so that community realities inform national dialogue.
Youth-led discussions on opportunities, innovation, employment, participation, and rights.
Engagement among students, teachers, parents, and protection stakeholders to promote digital citizenship, privacy awareness, and safer online learning environments.
Focused exchange on resilience, empowerment, and trusted participation online.
Community consultations in villages and neighborhoods where citizens share lived experiences of connectivity, affordability, digital services, and risks.
High-level discussions among leaders, regulators, legislators, and experts.
Messages from each platform feed into the national forum and inform Tanzania’s contributions to regional and global Internet governance discussions.
