> This mail comes to announce the commencement of registration for the West
> African Youth Internet Governance Forum.
> The West Africa Youth Internet Governance (WAYIGF) is a sub-regional
> initiative under the United Nations Internet Governance Forum. It exists
> first and foremost to provide a platform for youth in West Africa to

> with experts, and draft the 2020 Youth Messages. These messages are policy
> recommendations and will be presented at WAIGF, and the Africa Internet
> Governance Forum.
