NEW: The Africa Regional Plan for FY21-25 – What it Means From: Pierre Dandjinou, Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement - Africa I am pleased to share with you ICANN's final Africa Regional Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2025.

Accordingly, the Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) Africa team, in collaboration with the community, initiated the process to align the ICANN Africa Regional Plan with ICANN's. An Africa Strategy Working Group (ASWG2020), made up of 25 diverse representatives selected through a public call, was then formed in January 2020 to develop the regional plan.
