The aim of GhanaSIG is to create an avenue for people from diverse sectors and backgrounds to acquire the requisite skills in Internet Governance to enable them to participate meaningfully to discourse at the community, national, regional and the international levels.
The hybrid fellowship programme is made up of one month online learning sessions and followed by a one week face-to-face training scheduled for 27th to 30th June 2023.
GhanaSIG is a recognized registered member of the Dynamic Coalition on Internet Governance Schools, a worldwide body of Internet Governance Schools sharing best practices on Internet Governance.
GhanaSIG is an Internet Governance fellowship training event but not an academic programme.
