Londa is a flagship research by Paradigm Initiative focused on mapping the state of digital rights across Africa. It documents emerging trends, national landscapes, policy gaps, and grassroots experiences shaping the digital ecosystem on the continent. Informed by diverse voices and localised realities, Londa serves as a critical tool for advocacy, policymaking, and movement-building.

To bring the findings and energy of Londa to wider audiences, we launched LondaPulse, a dissemination and engagement campaign that amplifies the report’s insights in creative, participatory formats. Through curated conversations, art, and storytelling, LondaPulse translates data into action, policy into people, and research into resonance.

The Event:
As part of the West Africa Internet Governance Forum (WAIGF) 2025, we will host a semi-formal side event under the LondaPulse banner. This event blends the relaxed atmosphere of a cocktail gathering with the insight of a panel discussion, offering a refreshing take on traditional side events.

The goal is simple: to connect, reflect, and pulse-check where Africa stands on key digital rights issues — in the presence of policymakers, advocates, and thought leaders.
