From São Tomé and Príncipe to Kenya : COHORT 3

Capacity Building and Community Engagement in ccTLDs Management Across Africa programme.

In this interview, Adjilza Amado Do Rosário Pinho from the Telecommunications Regulator of São Tomé (AGER- autorité de réglementation générale), shares her experience from ICANN training on ccTLD management.

She discusses:

- The main obstacles facing the .ST domain: both regulatory gaps and a shortage of trained technicians

- How the training deepened her technical knowledge of DNS, recursive resolvers, and DNSSEC implementation

- Her government's push to reclaim the .ST domain from private management and bring it under state control.

Why, given a single budget priority, she'd invest in infrastructure above all else.
