SUMMARY:Access Now at CIPESA’s 2026 FIFAfrica 
DESCRIPTION:InterContinental Resort\, Mauritius \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Collaboration on International ICT Policy in East and Southern Africa (CIPESA)\, will host the Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa 2026 (FIFAfrica26) set to take place on September 28- October 1\, 2026 in Mauritius. \n\n\n\nOver the past decade\, the FIFAfrica conference has provided a space for connection and conversation and garnered a track record of bringing together multi-stakeholder actors and shared efforts aimed at advancing rights\, freedoms\, participation\, and innovation in the digital sphere. As open spaces for human rights conversations continue to shrink\, convenings such as these are more important than ever. \n\n\n\nAccess Now has been a key partner of CIPESA and continues to actively participate in FIFAfrica to strengthen our partnership and expand our network within Africa and beyond. We are happy to be part of this year’s FIFAfrica.  \n\n\n\nBelow are some of the events Access Now will be hosting or participating in at FIFAfrica26.  \n\n\n\n\n\n[Pre-event] Humanising Big Tech Accountability — workshop co-hosted by Nguvu Collective\, Luminate\, Access Now\, and The Oversight Lab.Date: Tuesday\, September 29\,Time: 8:30 am–1:00 pm local time (GMT+4).Room: Trochetia \n\n\n\n\n\n[Exhibition] Access NowDate: September 30 – October 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n[Panel] Lessons and Challenges: A Decade of Fighting to #KeepItOn in Africa and BeyondDate: Wednesday\, September 30Time: 11:30 amRoom: Barracuda \n\n\n\n\n\n[Panel] The Civic Space Quicksand: Data Protection as an Enabler of Human Rights —Date: Wednesday\, September 30Time: 2:00 pmRoom: Barracuda \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out the official website for more information about the event.
