Online Localised Content Development Workshop

As per the analysis of the Information Geographies at the Oxford Internet Institute (http://geography.oii.ox.ac.uk/) Africa has a very
low representation in terms of digital local contents.

Last year during the first AIS conference the community requested AFRINIC to share the in-house Joomla! skills and know-how through workshops/tutorials on how to use the Joomla! CMS to develop local digital contents.
