AfriNIC in 2006 AfriNIC activities have grown in 2006

Budget: Our operational budget has grown from 150,000 USD in 2004 to approximately 800,000 USD in 2006 with more than 30% dedicated to various awareness and training activities.

The number of members has grown from 110 transferred from existing RIRs when we started to more than 250 at the end of 2006.

The above growth matches the allocation growth. While we apply strict rules in our evaluation procedure, there is about 100% growth in IP allocations in the AfriNIC region from 2003 to 2006 compared to the overall period before that.
