About Youth IGF Nepal: Youth Internet Governance Forums (yIGFs) are youth initiatives inspired by the principles of the global Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and are officially recognized by the UN IGF Secretariat. Youth IGF Nepal was established to encourage and involve young people from the Nepalese community in emerging internet governance issues.
Youth IGFs are established at both national and regional levels, adhering to the same principles as the UN IGF: open, inclusive, non-commercial, and multi-stakeholder. We also support capacity building for youth from different stakeholder groups on emerging issues such as the digital divide, universal access, AI governance, and freedom of expression online.
