Agence Nationale des Infrastructures Numériques et des Fréquences

What Agence Nationale des Infrastructures Numériques et des Fréquences does

ANINF (Agence Nationale des Infrastructures Numériques et des Fréquences) is the Gabonese state agency, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Libreville, mandated to guarantee Gabon's digital sovereignty through management of national digital infrastructure, radio frequency spectrum, and cybersecurity policy. The agency operates a portfolio of interconnected platforms organized in three tiers: (1) core infrastructure — National Data Center, BNG national fiber backbone spanning all 9 provinces, RAG government network, and GAB-IX Internet Exchange Point; (2) citizen-facing digital services — SNID national digital identity, CNIE electronic ID card, e-Solde administrative digitization, eGABON-SIS health information system, KEWA national exam results, MBÔVA citizen consultation, and Public WiFi; and (3) enablement services — Mon.ga ccTLD registry, DEREP radio network declaration platform, and ANINF Academy training division. Its business model is primarily government budget allocation under the Gabon Digital national plan, supplemented by transactional revenue from .ga domain registrations (10,000 FCFA / ~€15.26 per registration through 15 accredited registrars) and ANINF Academy training fees. Delivery is carried out by a workforce of 348 (223 men, 125 women, more than two-thirds under 35), with embedded Direction Centrale des Systèmes d'Information (DCSI) units in each ministry and an expanding territorial office network beginning with Franceville in June 2026.

The agency's customer base is overwhelmingly the Gabonese public administration, with secondary touchpoints to telecom operators (frequency allocation via DEREP), businesses (.ga domain registration), and citizens (digital identity, public WiFi, exam results, civic consultation). ANINF serves as the sole regulatory and operational authority for national digital infrastructure and spectrum in Gabon, and recent strategic moves include bilateral cooperation with Morocco's ADD and the US-based Cybastion group, execution of the 2024-2026 strategic roadmap, and territorial expansion via its first provincial office. There are no external investors, private equity, or venture capital backers; ANINF is wholly state-owned and operates under direct government mandate.
