Applications are open for the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Call for Travel Support 2024. The mandate of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) calls for strengthening and enhancing stakeholder engagement from developing countries. It also calls for the Forum to contribute to building capacity for Internet governance in developing countries, drawing fully on local sources of knowledge and expertise.

During the IGF 2018, the United Nations Secretary-General has called for action to increase inclusiveness in the IGF processes, underlining that the IGF must increase its efforts to draw upon the weak and missing voices” into the IGFs work. It was also called for a broader multidisciplinary approach, to involve experts not traditionally involved in the IGF processes. The community also echoed for more inclusion and diversity in the IGF’s participation spectrum.

For these reasons, a limited number of eligible candidates from developing countries are supported to participate at the 19th annual meeting of the IGF hosted by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh from 15 to 19 December 2024. Support is provided through contributions to the IGF Global South Fund by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
