An open, secure and human-centred internet depends on sustained cooperation among governments, civil society, the technical community, academia and the private sector.

GIFI convenes events and dialogue that bring together diverse stakeholders to exchange perspectives, share experience and identify practical ways to advance the global digital commitments and principles in different national and regional contexts.

What our events aim to achieve

Through workshops, expert discussions, public events and multistakeholder exchanges, GIFI aims to:

Deepen understanding of why an open, global, interoperable, reliable and secure internet matters for people, societies and economies.
Create opportunities for stakeholders to share evidence, compare approaches and learn from practical experience.
Explore options for implementing global digital commitments and principles through policy, institutional and collaborative action.

A whole-of-society approach

GIFI’s dialogues are designed to move beyond information-sharing. They create space for organisations representing the private sector, civil society, research institutions and the technical community to contribute their expertise and perspectives.

By connecting policymakers with the communities that build, use, study and advocate for the internet, GIFI helps turn high-level commitments into context-sensitive and actionable pathways for implementation.
