The Internet Policy Analyst (IPA) project is a grassroots initiative featured in a new section of Internet Governance Program (IGMENA) website www.igmena.org. The project is lead by a new generation of authors from the MENA region who will report current developments specific to Internet policy and governance in their respective countries.
