Join us for a webinar on 21 July 2021, at 13:00 UTC, for a webinar on Measuring the Internet in Africa (MIRA).

The joint Internet Society – AFRINIC initiative on Measuring Internet Resilience in Africa (MIRA) seeks to determine levels of Internet resilience in African countries. The initiative has already began conducting various measurements as outlined in the MIRA project overview and MIRA measurement infrastructure has been deployed in 11 countries so far, with 25 MIRA pods actively collecting data on latency, upload and download speeds. 

Join us to get an update on our work, the measurements taken so far and how you could participate in the MIRA project. We will also present our ongoing work to build an Internet Resilience Index, for which more than 20 indicators have been identified.     

The webinar will be held in English with French interpretation.
