United for an Open Africa: Reclaiming Rights and Inclusion in Digital Spaces 

Technology is advancing exponentially, therefore we must be a part of how it is governed, shape our daily lives and uphold digital rights. CcHUB joined other members of the Africa Internet Rights Alliance (AIRA) at the 2026 convening hosted on the sidelines of the Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa (FIFAFRICA26) in Mauritius. It provided an opportunity for members to reconnect physically, reflect on the past year, assess the health and direction of the Alliance, and identify areas for stronger collaboration and collective action in advancing digital rights in Africa.

“AIRA is an oak tree that will outlive its planter.”
