The Digital Rights Academy is a capacity-building workshop that Paradigm Initiative periodically organises to raise awareness, increase knowledge of digital rights and inclusion, and enhance the capacity of stakeholders to foster innovation-friendly, inclusive, and human rights-respecting legislation in their respective countries.

Workshops have previously been held across Africa, including Cameroon, Gambia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Chad, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, DR Congo, and Zambia.

This time, it was held in Mombasa, Kenya.

With increasing internet access, a focus on cyber laws, connectivity challenges for many Africans and the use of digital tools for civic participation, there have been growing concerns over potential human rights violations online. Freedom of expression, assembly, association, and online data privacy continue to be attacked in countries in the African region.
