The World Economic Forum’s Internet for All initiative aims to give millions of new users across three country programmes (Northern Corridor of Africa, Argentina, India) internet access within three years through the development of innovative collaboration models. 

Internet for All will deliver a global digital and social platform where leaders from government, the private sector and civil society, and donors can collaborate to scale and replicate internet inclusion activities. Internet for All’s global and country platforms will endure after the end of the three-year grant period, allowing continued collaboration and further accelerating the creation of a digital economy and society through a sustainable and country-owned process. Internet for All will also document the processes and methodologies to allow countries and regions to launch Internet for All-type projects of their own.
