The event was organized by Digital Grassroots Tanzania country coordinator, Rebecca Ryakitimbo. Digital Grassroots President, Esther Mwema, travelled from Zambia to host a session at the maiden event that hosted 90 youth participants in Arusha, Tanzania.

For the last three years, Localization Lab has partnered with AruWSIG, to localize different tools and resources into Swahili, through localization sprints. These sprints are structured in a way that every fellow gets an opportunity to go through and translate an entire resource, and afterward the document is given to reviewers for editing purposes. A lot of people around the world have benefited from the localization of different tools and resources, with its importance becoming increasingly more well known today.

However none of this would be possible without the volunteer contributors, who offer their time to take part in this localization sprints. Most of these contributors are fellows who have been selected to be part of AruWSIG. Despite the efforts being made to increase the number of women in the internet governing space, women are still underrepresented.
