Dear Colleague,

Today at *12:00 pm WAT*, the Net Rights Coalition will host a learning call
to discuss global standards and treaties, including the UN Global Mechanism
on ICTs in the context of International Security and the UN Convention
against Cybercrime and to illustrate the relevance of international
standards and norms in digital and cyber governance. The learning call
seeks to commemorate Global Encryption Day, observed annually on October
21. The webinar will provide a comparative analysis of key norms and
standards, highlighting what subsists in regional and national
policymaking. The learning call will discuss how stakeholders can engage in
global processes and examine the risks posed by restrictive legislative and
regulatory frameworks across African countries. Key recommendations will
also be highlighted.

Our panellists for the webinar are:


   -

   Thobekile Matimbe - *Paradigm Initiative*: Senior Manager Partnerships
   and Engagements
   -

   Leandro Uccifferi  - *Ranking Digital Rights*: Deputy Director
   -

   Benjamin Ofori - *Cyber Security Authority (Ghana)*: Head of Critical
   Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP)
