On Thursday 31 March 2022 at 3pm-4pm CEST (13:00-14:00 UTC) the World Data Lab (WDL) in collaboration with the Internet Society Foundation presents a webinar ‘Which are the most Internet poor countries in the world?‘ to launch the Internet Poverty Index. WDL estimates reveal that globally over 1.39 billion people, or around 17.8% of the world population, currently live in Internet poverty. By defining internet affordability, quality, and quantity thresholds, the estimates of global Internet poverty can finally be assessed.

On Thursday 16 September 2021 at 13:00 UTC the Measuring the Internet in Africa (MIRA) project will hold its first quarterly update meeting. The project uses Internet measurements gathered by measurement devices called MIRA pods, which are located within African countries, to 1) Determine levels of Internet resilience in African countries over time by recording specific metrics, including throughput and latency (the time it takes to reach various Internet destinations); 2) Increase the number of Internet measurement vantage points in Africa, i.e., the places from which measurements are taken; 3) Make the data available to everyone, everywhere on the Internet Society’s Pulse platform.
During this one hour webinar, topics include: The MIRA Internet Resilience Index; MIRA Pods deployment and hosting; MIRA Pods data visualization

The initiative has already began conducting various measurements as outlined in the MIRA project overview and MIRA measurement infrastructure has been deployed in 11 countries so far, with 25 MIRA pods actively collecting data on latency, upload and download speeds.
This session provides an update on MIRA, the measurements taken so far, how to participate in the project, and the ongoing work to build an Internet Resilience Index, for which more than 20 indicators have been identified.
Le mercredi 21 juillet 2021 à 13h00 UTC Internet Society Pulse organise un webinaire « Mesurer l’Internet en Afrique (MIRA) ». MIRA est une initiative conjointe de l’Internet Society et de l’AFRINIC qui cherche à déterminer les niveaux de résilience d’Internet dans les pays africains.
L’initiative a déjà commencé à effectuer diverses mesures, comme indiqué dans l’aperçu du projet MIRA et l’infrastructure de mesure MIRA a été déployée dans 11 pays jusqu’à présent, avec 25 modules MIRA collectant activement des données sur la latence, les vitesses de téléchargement et de téléchargement.
Cette session fournit une mise à jour sur MIRA, les mesures prises jusqu’à présent, comment participer au projet et les travaux en cours pour construire un indice de résilience Internet, pour lequel plus de 20 indicateurs ont été identifiés.

On July 24 July 2020 theInternet Society, a global non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet, and AFRINIC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the African region, announced the launch of a new collaborative effort, Africa Internet Measurements. This collaborative effort, a key component of the Internet Society’s Measuring the Internet project, builds upon a strategic, long-term partnership agreement held between both organizations aimed at strengthening continent-wide collaboration to drive the development of the Internet in Africa through projects and research related to Internet measurements, Internet resilience, routing security, open Internet standards, and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs).
