===Internet Society===
The [[Internet Society]] (ISOC) first established roots in Africa in Morocco in April 1996, with Ghana and Egypt following close behind.
ISOC was instrumental in creating [[INET]] Technical Workshops as a means to educate those who wanted to set up IP networks. This focused, one-week training covered the [[DNS]] and routing and Internet services implementation. Dr. [[Nii Quaynor]], Dr [[Tarek Kamel]] and [[Pierre Dandjinou]] were instrumental contributors to INET and its proliferation throughout Africa. <ref>[https://www.internetsociety.org/history-internet-africa-organizations-and-initiatives History of the Internet in Africa: Organizations and Initiatives.
