Abstract

Internet governance issues tend to be contentious, multifaceted, and interconnected among various stakeholders. The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was formed as a potentially effective and legitimate multistakeholder governance network that could better ensure cooperation. An evaluation of the impacts of the IGF model in regional contexts, particularly developing country contexts, has gained limited attention. This study is one of the first to explore the function of the IGF model in a regional context by investigating the impacts of the East African Community’s (EAC) East Africa Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF), the first regional IGF established globally.
