At AFRINIC, we are at the forefront of managing Internet Number Resources (IPv4, IPv6, and ASNs) for the African region. Our commitment extends beyond resource allocation, encompassing vital aspects of Internet technology development and community support. As the Regional Internet Registry for Africa, our initiatives and services are designed to contribute to the growth and resilience of the digital infrastructure.
Our operations are anchored in a bottom-up, self-regulatory, and multi-stakeholder approach, driving our Policy Development Process (PDP). This inclusive framework enables the AFRINIC community to actively formulate policies that guide the responsible management of Internet number resources. Join us on this journey of fostering Internet growth, connectivity, and innovation across Africa.
