Paradigm Initiative will welcome participants with a reception at Azaläi Hotel, known as the Afro-Cities Cafe. This welcoming cocktail is part of Paradigm Initiative's ongoing efforts to promote digital rights and inclusion across Africa. The event aims to create a dynamic platform for conversations, insights, and collaborative efforts to shape the future of digital policy in West Africa.

Approximately 70 attendees, including Members of Parliament and participants arriving in Dakar for the West Africa Internet Governance Forum (WAIGF), are expected to join the welcoming dinner. This gathering provides a unique opportunity for networking and exchanging ideas among key stakeholders dedicated to advancing digital governance in the region.

In addition to serving as a reception, the Afro-Cities Cafe will also mark the graduation of the West Africa School of Internet Governance fellows. This milestone celebrates the achievements of the fellows and their contributions to the digital governance landscape. The event underscores the importance of education and collaboration in driving forward the digital rights and inclusion agenda in West Africa.
