The school targets Kenyans from all sectors- government, academia, the tech community, and civil society who are new to Internet Governance issues.
KeSIG takes about 3 weeks with about 100 students annually.
KeSIG is an introductory course covering technical, economic, legal, and contemporary social issues brought about by the Internet and how they affect Kenyan decision-making. It aims to build a critical mass of individuals advocating for Internet rights and freedoms by equipping the participants with the skills needed to participate meaningfully in local, regional, and global policy discourse.
The very successful inaugural school was held in 2016 in Nairobi with 50 participants going through intense three-day training.
