AFRALO held a series of capacity building sessions at [[ICANN 42]] in Dakar, Senegal in October 2011. More than 20 representatives from each of the African [[ALS|At-Large Structure]] attended the meetings, which were well-attended with participation from about 300 people. The five-day program, conducted by ICANN officers and staff, aimed to provide representatives briefs on key policies, issues, and facets of ICANN.

According to AFRALO's own metrics, the participation of ALS representatives increased by 30 percent in the two months following the conference. The organization also expects this participation level to extend to the At-Large policy development process and in At-Large Working Groups.<ref name="afralo"></ref>
