NRI founding stories and development

What is the story of the founding of your NRI? What were its inspiration, its objectives?

The founding of our initiative comes from global inspiration. In our process we are helped by the IGF Academy (set up by iRights and APC). Our inspiration comes from all those countries who do have their initiatives and who are fighting for human rights in cyberspace. The objectives of our national initiatives are to enforce freedom of expression online, children’s and women’s safety online but also all other subjects related to the use of internet in our country.

How did it develop and what difficulties did you experience along the way?

We are still developing and most of our difficulties are related to fundraising.

How do you imagine your NRI and its activities in the future?

All the organising committee is working for an inclusive IGF.
