I quite appreciate the presentation of the Draft Outreach and Engagement schedule. I will humbly plead that we suggest useful events and partnerships to make this vision more robust and cross-cutting around all stakeholders' and sectors of our continent.

I suggest events around Youth initiatives such as the ICT Summer Academy CAMPs and Girls in ICT from our orgaisation;s   which targets primarily youths from ages 15 - 35 and those from primary and secondary schools.
Another is Women ICT Summit (hosted locally in Nigeria and Abroad within Africa / the West Countries), for women from 18years and above.

These and many others across various ALSs in Africa countries which are targeted at various categories of groups will drive the objectives set by the vision of the "Outreach and Engagement", as we can indeed reach out to the grassroots with Internet and ICT knowledge, deployment and integration purposes.

Likewise the idea of raising funds for the kind of agenda set here is crucial to encourage more participation and ensure impactful outreaches especially to those who really needed to be engaged across Africa.

I celebrate this laudable move and I do hope others make more useful contributions.

Thanks for the opportunity to share with us all. I love this family.

Hello All,

I believe the idea behind this strategy is a very good one and I support it. But I will like to encourage the executives to seek for more founding to enable more of these ALS's and individual members to attend these programs and contribute to discussions.

More often a lot of members desire to attend these programs but do not have funding ...this was evidenced in the just ended ICANN 59 in Jorburg,  where large number of ALS's participated because of the support we received.

If you have any comment, please send it on this list as soon as possible, and not after Monday 31 July 2017.
 ------------------------
Draft AFRALO FY18 Outreach and Engagement Strategy
 
Introduction
AFRALO has achieved tremendous success in outreach and engagement within the region especially with its participation in Africa Internet Summit and AFRINIC Meetings. We have achieved a high rise in the number of ALSes to current 53 African ALSes.
 
Aim of the Strategy
With the important increase in the number of ALSes, the strategy of FY18 will focus on Engagement of the end users and will aim at:
  • Reaching out to African end users all over Africa to enhance engagement in the policy development processes and all other ICANN activities
  • Promoting the ICANN multi-stakeholder model and its bottom-up decision making process
  • Continuing the effort of recruitment of new members (At-Large Structures and/or individual members)
 
Strategy plan
To reach the aims of the strategy, AFRALO shall:
  • Participate in events across Africa to:
    • Organize engagement sessions to present AFRALO, At-Large and ICANN to the event participants, explaining mission, constituencies and activities.
    • Make use of all breaks and social events to do the adequate outreach to bring African Internet organizations and individuals into ICANN Arena and make them interested to be involved in the processes
    • Make presentations about topics under discussion in ICANN to show how the African ICANN community participate effectively in the ICANN policy development
  • Organize local events, in partnership with the local ALSes to enhance their engagement and broaden their radiance in their respective countries
  • Continue to identify universities and academic institutions to organize fruitful discussions with students and teachers about Internet and ICANN to bring young people into ICANN through these Open Sessions
 
Engagement Events targeted
The engagement will be done at various forums within the Africa Region. The following non-exhaustive list identifies some targeted events:
  • AFRINIC Meetings 2017 - AFRINIC 27
  • Africa Internet Governance Forum 2017 – AfIGF 2017
  • Africa Internet Summit 2018 – AIS’18
