In the 2017-2018 period, AFRINIC was able to train over 700 engineers and managers in workshops held in 21 countries in Africa. This was with the support of various stakeholders in the AFRINIC Community. These training covered the knowledge and skills of Internet Number Resources Management (INRM) and IPv6 Planning and Deployment.

This is a call to interested parties in the AFRINIC service region to host AFRINIC IPv6 and INRM Training Workshops in  2019.
