Description:
In the context of high digital demand, the civil society as well as governments are all called upon to use the Internet tool with the aim to remain productive and efficiency. In such situation, a lot of traffic is envisaged and proper actions are to be taken to maintain the level of productivity. However, that situation also raised couple of questions related to how reliable the internet is in our sub-region?; what is the level of security guaranteed by our infrastructures and to what extent are internet users safe online?. Similarly, several questions are asked about legitimate limits, the respect of digital rights, the consultation and the participation of citizens. Through this workshop, we also want to identify, examine and understand how the principles of public interest can be applied to each of these areas. What measures could be taken and implemented to ensure that the principles of public interest are respected and enforced in the future and in a democratic manner.
