Final WSIS Targets Review: Achievements, Challenges and the Way Forward.
The
Final WSIS Targets Review: Achievements, Challenges and the Way Forward was launched in June 2014, at the occasion of the WSIS+10 High Level Event, in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the achievements made towards the WSIS Targets that governments agreed upon at the World Summit on the Information Society, and:
- Reviews progress made on each one of the WSIS Targets, which range from connecting villages, schools and health centres to developing content and providing people with ICT access
- Draws attention to the availability (and lack) of data to track progress today, and over time
- Makes recommendations on policies that are most relevant in impacting the WSIS Targets
- Reviews the relevance of targets and indicators to track the information society
- Highlights lessons learnt and makes recommendations on a possible future (post-2015) ICT measurement framework
- Links a possible post-2015 ICT monitoring framework to the post-2015 Development Agenda
