The Internet Society Somalia Chapter brings together technologists, policymakers, educators, and youth to advance an open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet in Somalia. As part of the greater ISOC family, we support community-led Internet growth, digital inclusion, and capacity building.
The Internet Society Somalia Chapter supports and promotes the development of the Internet as a global technical infrastructure, a resource to enrich people’s lives, and a force for good in society.
The Internet is for everyone in Somalia.
To achieve our mission, the Somalia Chapter aims to
Development of standards, protocols, administration, and Internet infrastructure.
And digital literacy in Somalia, with special attention to underserved and marginalized communities.
Development and build community to foster local participation and leadership in Internet evolution.
And accessible information about the Internet.
For discussion of Internet-related issues affecting Somalia, including technical, societal, and policy topics.
And international engagement that enables Somalia to be part of the global Internet community.
For initiatives and outreach efforts that use the Internet as a tool for education, economic development, and social good.
The Internet Society Somalia Chapter is a local extension of the Internet Society, dedicated to furthering ISOC’s mission in Somalia. Revitalized to serve the community after years of inactivity, the chapter provides a platform for collaboration, advocacy, education, and innovation in the Somali Internet ecosystem. We work to ensure that all Somalis—whether in urban centers, rural communities, or the diaspora—have the opportunity to benefit from a free, open, and inclusive Internet.
