The Digital Rights Alliance Africa (DRAA or the Alliance) is a pan-African, diverse coalition of formal civil society organisations (CSOs), human rights defenders (HRDs), media practitioners, lawyers and technology specialists in Africa that seek to champion digital civic space and counter threats to digital rights on the continent. The Alliance was jointly established in 2023 by the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) and the Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) to strengthen expertise and action by civil society in Africa to shape rights-based, enabling digital policies and counter threats to digital rights and internet freedoms across the continent. DRAA currently has members from 13 countries.
Members undertake research, legal advocacy and share experiences to navigate digital restrictions and promote digital policy reforms in line with international norms.
