Welcome to the MRU Internet Governance Forum (MRU IGF) – a visionary platform dedicated to Connecting Minds and Shaping Digital Futures within the Mano River Union (MRU) region ( Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, and Guinea ).

Internet Governance is the development and application by Governments, the Private Sector, Academia and Civil Society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. The Mano River Union  Internet Governance Forum (MRU IGF) aims to promote Internet Governance issues in Mano River Union countries ( Liberia , Sierra Leone , Ivory Coast and Guinea )  through a multi-stakeholder process.

In an era defined by rapid digital transformation, our mission is clear: to empower MRU countries through innovative, inclusive, and collaborative approaches to internet governance. We believe that by uniting stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and fostering digital unity, we can unlock the vast potential of the MRU region and steer it towards a prosperous digital future.

Our Vision: At MRU IGF, we envision a future where the MRU countries harness the power of digital technology to drive economic growth, social inclusion, and sustainable development. We believe in a region where every citizen is connected, informed, and empowered to participate in the digital age.

Our Mission: Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for positive change by:

• Connecting Minds: Bringing together governments, civil society, businesses, academia, and technical experts to collaborate on internet governance issues.
• Shaping Digital Futures: Fostering innovation, policy development, and capacity building to create a vibrant digital ecosystem in the MRU region.
