IGMENA

IGMENA is a Hivos programme that brings voices together from the MENA region (Middle East and North African region) on Internet Governance and policies.

In response to the importance of internet during the "Arab Spring", and the limited amount of legal framework for Internet freedoms that exist in most of those countries, IGMENA believes in assuring freedom of expression and information within MENA counties. Thus, its two main objectives are:

• Improved Knowledge on Internet Governance in the MENA region
• Enhanced Legislation on Internet Policies in the MENA region
