Ongoing Initiative
Strengthening Africa’s Lusophone Internet ecosystem by enhancing the technical, administrative, and security operations of Portuguese-speaking country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registries.
Build the operational capacity of Lusophone African ccTLD registries in areas such as DNS security, resilience, disaster recovery, business planning, and marketing.
Increase linguistic inclusivity and access to Internet governance resources by translating key training materials and industry best practices into Portuguese.
This initiative will equip ccTLD operators in Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe with the skills, resources, and peer networks needed to strengthen their infrastructure and services, directly contributing to the stability and growth of their national digital economies.
Through targeted capacity development activities – delivered online, in person, and in Portuguese – participants will benefit from workshops, mentoring, and knowledge-sharing with industry experts. The program will also foster collaboration across the Lusophone Internet community, enabling operators to adapt best practices to local contexts and strengthen cross-border cooperation.
By uniting these registries under a shared language and shared goals, the initiative supports the Coalition for Digital Africa’s mission to build a secure, sustainable, and multilingual Internet in Africa.
