AfriSIG 2022 included around 30 participants over the three components, including faculty and resource persons. Participation was by invitation to governments, civil society organisations, business entities and technical and research organisations who have participated in the Open Ended Working Group and in previous Groups of Governmental Experts. Invitations were sent to institutions who were asked to nominate individuals, and, in some instances, addressed directly to individuals. As always AfriSIG strove for gender parity and regional diversity.
