The Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme (IGCBP)

Internet Governance (IG) is an increasingly relevant issue in international relations.

 

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), held in Geneva in 2003 and Tunis in 2005, officially placed the question of Internet Governance on diplomatic agendas. Participation in the global IG debate represents a significant challenge for all countries, but especially for small and developing ones.

 

Dealing with Internet Governance issues in a comprehensive way requires multidisciplinary knowledge, as well as a unique blend of diplomatic and technical skills.

 

IGCBP aims to assist individuals involved in Internet Governance issues from countries with limited financial and human resources to develop the skills and knowledge required to participate meaningfully in this global debate.
