AFRINIC has organised two academic workshops at AFRICOMM in 2017 and 2018 with the main objective of initiating and accelerating collaboration among internet researchers in Africa. The aim is to facilitate discussions around the evolution of Africa’s Internet landscape and to formulate strategic directions for Internet research in the continent.

In order to ensure that the African Internet benefit from the performance measurement platforms being deployed by a number of companies and institutions across the globe, AFRINIC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2013 with one of the leading Internet measurement platform providers, the RIPE NCC. This partnership was established in an effort by AFRINIC to build a large measurement network in Africa and to continuously analyse interconnectivity and internetworking across the continent. The MoU enables AFRINIC to join the RIPE NCC’s effort in building a global network of probes and anchors known as the RIPE ATLAS project. AFRINIC has, since the MoU, distributed 192 probes and sponsored six anchors and these devices are installed in different parts of the continent. Five of these anchors were delivered in 2018 to the following Internet eXchange Points (IXPs):
