Last week, our team had the pleasure of traveling to Kigali for the African Peering and Interconnection Forum (@AfPIF).
We had a chance to catch up with some of our organization members, fellows, partners, community members, and more. The connections that people build at #AfPIF are priceless, and the transition of this event to the community has been amazing to see.
A huge thank you to DE-CIX for being our fellowship sponsor!👏

Next week, our team will be in Kigali to attend the African Peering and Interconnection Forum (@AfPIF) alongside network operators, technical experts, policymakers, and civil society.
When #AfPIF began in 2010, African Internet traffic often took a detour around the world to reach neighboring countries. Since then, the AfPIF community has done crucial work to advance the infrastructure and interconnection needed to keep more Internet traffic local, helping to reduce costs, improve performance, and strengthen the continent’s digital economy.
Today, that same community is working within countries and across borders to strengthen local infrastructure, build economic opportunity, and expand access to affordable, reliable, and resilient Internet.

The next era of #AfPIF starts with a handshake.
Today, we proudly pass the African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) over to @AfricanIXPs.

#RDC: Tenue à #Kinshasa en République démocratique du Congo du 14è Forum africain sur le peering et l'interconnexion (#Afpif) prévu du 20 au 24 août, rassemblant des fournisseurs d'infrastructure, de service et de contenu pour identifier des manières d'améliorer l'interconnexion des réseaux, de réduire le coût de connectivité et d'accroître le nombre d'utilisateurs d'Internet dans la région, selon un communiqué reçu mercredi à l'ACP
«Nous sommes honorés d’accueillir la conférence de cette année. On ne saurait trop insister sur l’importance des IXP pour contribuer au développement de l’Internet en Afrique. Nous avons maintenant trois IXP en RDC qui aident à fournir un accès Internet rapide et abordable à 30 017 072 personnes», a déclaré Nico Tshintu, président de l’ISPA DRC, cité dans ce communiqué.
«La République démocratique du Congo, un marché de 100 millions d’habitants qui borde neuf pays et l’océan Atlantique, s’apprête à entamer sa transformation numérique. Une nouvelle infrastructure transfrontalière de dorsale, de fibre urbaine et de centre de données est sur le point de mettre le Congo en ligne et de renforcer l’intégration régionale. Cela permettra d’améliorer les moyens de subsistance, de faciliter le commerce et de promouvoir les échanges culturels », a relevé pour sa part Kyle Spencer, président du conseil d’administration et directeur exécutif de l’African IXP Association (#Afix).
