The main objective of this work was to identify and map studies relevant to internet freedoms in Africa and analyze them to identify patterns and trends distribution in order to nurture public debate and for due consideration by researchers and policy makers within the region. The need to focus on internet freedoms in Africa is because of limited research contextualizing internet freedoms in this region and challenges with public availability and accessibility of the research evidence. The goal is to enhance learning on the research evidence available that could be relevant in advancing internet policies in Africa. The search for studies on internet freedoms was based on identified themes and indicators of internet freedoms. The study methodology was online desk research with full focus on empirical studies between 2013-2019.

The Paper identifies empirical studies relevant to internet freedoms in Africa
The studies are mapped according to different parameters of internet freedoms/research
The mapped studies are analyzed to evaluate their distribution according to themes and indicators of internet freedoms
The distribution is graphically presented and availed for due consideration by researchers and policy makers within the region.
