The African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF), organized by the African IXP Association (AFIX) with the support of the Internet Society (ISOC) and hosted by the Rwanda Internet Community and Technology Alliance (RICTA), seeks to address Africa’s unique interconnection challenges and opportunities.

African IXP Association (AFIX) and the Internet Society (ISOC) will hold the 11th annual African Peering and Interconnection Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, from 23 – 25 August 2022.

Sharing knowledge about the economics of network interconnection and peering in order to reduce information asymmetry
Providing opportunities for participants to establish interconnection and other agreements through dedicated “Peering Bilaterals” meeting sessions
Facilitating participant interaction through social activities and an online portal

The Venue

Rwanda is a country in Central Africa and one of the smallest countries on the African mainland. Located a few degrees south of the Equator, It is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rwanda is in the African Great Lakes region and is highly elevated; its geography is dominated by mountains in the west and savanna to the east, with numerous lakes throughout the country. The climate is temperate to subtropical, with two rainy seasons and two dry seasons each year.

Rwanda has access to three submarine cables via their neighbouring countries, with a fourth expected in Q1 2020. Combined, these cables will connect 31 African countries to multiple locations in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
