The Kenya Regional Internet Exchange Point supports local and regional internet traffic exchange through Kenya's established exchange ecosystem. KIXP-Mombasa is an operating facility that enables participating networks to exchange traffic locally, reducing latency and international transit requirements. The project should be mapped to the named operating exchange rather than treated as an unidentified construction project.
<p>The AXIS Project aims to facilitate the development of an African internet infrastructure through policy and regulatory reform, capacity building and technical assistance. Development of an African internet infrastructure refers to the establishment of regional internet exchange points (IXPs) and internet carriers.</p>
<p>The AXIS Project is being implemented through two phases. Phase I consists of capacity building to support the establishment of national IXPs through providing a series of two workshops for stakeholders and the Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA) on I) best practice and benefits of IXP and II) technical assistance through workshops which will cover the technical and administrative skills needed to set up, operate, and administer an IXP.</p>
