AfriNIC and manage their resources. Routing Information and statistics: A tool to evaluate
the routing status of resources allocated by AfriNIC and overall statistics on Internet resources in our region

So… It clearly appears from above that something has
changed since 2004. Due to:
More awareness among Operators across the region Proximity of the RIR … Growth in Internet Business in Africa
We now need to support these positive achievements by strengthening the organisation structure and our policy development process.
The community participation in policy development is key to RIR success.

… where from here? While it seems like things are moving, we still have
some challenges facing us as a young organisation and also as a community:
Awareness and cooperation, work still needs to be done towards the stakeholders (public/private sector and civil society).
Increase participation to our own policy development process.
Strengthen the organization’s structure to handle the growth efficiently
Further we need to increase our contribution to Internet development by supporting Research and Infrastructure Initiative (in the limit of our resources)
