Background
yIGF Nepal 2022 is a youth Initiative being organized to encourage and involve the young people in the substantive discussion on the Issues of Internet Governance. Given the fact that more than 40% of the current population of Nepal is represented by the youth. Youth IGF Nepal is an open forum that provides a platform for the young people to exchange their experiences and also learn about the issues of Internet governance and raise the opinions of youth in national and international policy discussions. This platform also helps in capacity building of youths representing different stakeholders in the emerging issues of Internet governance such as Digital Divide, Universal Access, AI Governance, Freedom of Expression online and more. yIGF Nepal follows the same fundamental principles of UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) being multi-stakeholder, open, inclusive, bottom-up, and non commercial.
