Kagyah plays an important role in the Internet Governance Ecosystem at the national, regional and international levels. He works with Access Now on the #KeepItOn team as a fellow. He is a Tech Policy Advocate & Analyst and sees his work essential at the nexus of human rights and society. He is a member of the Institute of ICT Professionals Ghana, an ISOC 2021 Youth Ambassador as well as serves on the Ghana IGF Steering Committee - where he contributes to shaping Ghana’s technology and digital landscape. Kagyah best describes himself as a community catalyst.
In the early chapters of his academic journey, he immersed himself in the mysteries of Biological Sciences, with dreams of becoming a clinical microbiologist. But fate had other plans, and here we are today, where he has embarked on a thrilling journey into the realm of digital policies and technology.
As he sets sail on this mission, he upholds three paramount goals for his adult life: to etch a lasting legacy on society, to take immense pride in his individual and professional achievements and never to succumb to the doldrums of mind-numbing predictability.
Beyond the digital realm, Kagyah is an avid sports enthusiast, a toastmaster, an insatiable reader, and an accomplished chef in my own right. Life, to me, is an exhilarating adventure, and I seize each moment with unwavering enthusiasm.
