IWF’s support on the AFRALTI child online protection (COP) programme
IWF experts are collaborating as guest trainers on the monthly COP training organised by AFRALTI.
Such training is directed to relevant organisations and individuals working in the field of child protection and cybersecurity, such as NGOs, ISPs/internet or the telecommunications industry, government bodies and law enforcement. The sessions build capacity amongst key players and policy-makers and ensure that the protection of children online is a key topic at the forefront of each participant’s role and aspirations.
