On 3 October 2026, the Chapter, in collaboration with YouthIGF, organised a capacity-building and outreach event aimed at raising awareness and inspiring members of the Youth Parliament of The Gambia to participate actively in Internet governance.
Discussions centred on youth participation in championing Internet development and contributing their voices to shaping future policies. The conversations also highlighted opportunities for young people to participate in ISOC Gambia Chapter activities and Internet Governance Forum (IGF)-related initiatives.
The event was driven by a shared commitment to nurturing and developing the next generation of leaders in Internet governance.
The speakers included Hon. Alhagie Mbowe, Member of the National Assembly and Chairperson of the Select Committee on Education, Training and ICT of the National Assembly of The Gambia; Mr. Pncelet Ilelegi, CEO of Jokko Labs; and Mr. Alagie Ceesay, President of the ISOC Gambia Chapter.
