The main focus of the programme was on capacity development for regional and sub-regional institutions involved in Internet governance and ICT Policy. It was based on Diplo’s capacity development methodology consisting of three main components: training, policy research and policy immersion .
These emerging leaders, supported by Diplo, managed to initiate regional IG forums; organise online debates on Africa Internet Top Level Domain; drive further training and education in St Kitts and Nevis and around the Pacific; and reach out to government officials and get their support. We believe that it is these emerging leaders who will drive the economy and the development of their regions by the meaningful usage of ICT and the Internet. There are many more emerging leaders we need to identify and empower. In the meantime, we need to continue to support these 19 in their endeavours. These are their stories.
