African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) is one of the five Regional Internet Registries in the world, established to ensure a fair distribution and management of Internet number resources in Africa. Like the other four Regional Internet Registries, AFRINIC is a member of the Number Resources Organization and operates as a non-governmental and not-for-profit member-based organisation.
Since its inception in 2005, AFRINIC has collaborated with a diverse range of organisations to join expertise to catalyse the development of Internet usage and new technologies in Africa. AFRINIC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with some of these organisations to enter into cooperation or partnership.
However, in other cases, AFRINIC joined the membership of some organisations in which it contributes to matters relevant to the AFRINIC's expertise and the AFRINIC Internet community's benefits.
Among others, AFRINIC signed cooperation agreements with or membership of:
