This edition captures the gaps and proffers recommendations to achieve a digitally inclusive and rights-respecting Africa.Mr. \u2018Gbenga Sesan, Paradigm Initiative\u2019s Executive Director highlighted the importance of Londa in Africa, and need for ground breaking rights-respecting frameworks saying \u201cAfrica needs to make an urgent choice between focusing on clampdowns and maximising digital opportunities so we don\u2019t miss out on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). As Paradigm Initiative\u2019s 2021 Londa report shows, yet again, many of the 22 African countries featured in the report are too busy violating digital rights to focus on the digital opportunities that the COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on their relevance. The report is timely as it assesses the state of digital rights and inclusion in Africa, and also provides recommendations on what each country must do to move towards realising the huge gains that rights-respecting and inclusive digital policies and practices bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum brought together over 800 delegates and participants for 39 days to dissect the state of digital rights and inclusion in Africa in 18 virtual sessions and 16 in-person sessions and was attended by experts, stakeholders, and advocates within the digital rights ecosystem in Africa to deconstruct and demystify digital rights and inclusion, sharing recommendations for a proper digital rights implementation within Africa, in a statement by PIN\u2019s Communications officer, Mr Valery Njiaba in a media briefing closing the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
