Webinar on Internet Resilience in Africa during COVID-19

The webinar is the first of a series of webinars on Internet Resilience in Africa. It assesses
the growing impact of COVID-19 on livelihoods and work in Africa and the readiness of the
continent's Internet infrastructure to help mitigate those challenges. The webinar discuss
the quick and major changes in the use of Internet that occurred in the last few months have
affected the operations of organizations such as AFRINIC, Internet Service Providers and
Cable operators. It also discusses how Internet has allowed business continuity during
lockdown and how governments, regulators, operators and the private sector have used the
Internet to ease the disruption of our social and economic life. Last but not least, it 
discusses how the Internet is being used in the fight against COVID-19.
The webinar is expected to deliver comprehensive policy and regulatory recommendations
that enable governments and regulators to better understand how to create a stronger
Internet to help Africa not only during COVID-19 times and but also after the pandemic.
