BDT Director's Corner: Activities

BDT Director Doreen Bogdan-Martin participated in a ''Global Stage'' debate organized by GZero media in partnership with Microsoft, on ''Digital Equity: Should the internet be free for everyone?''

She explained the need to collaborate, pool and share resources so that internet access could be made affordable for half of the global population that remains unconnected. Everyone has a role to play to prevent digital from becoming the new face of inequality, and multistakeholder partnerships will be key.

Ms Bogdan-Martin called for ''all hands on deck'' to work creatively and cross-sectorally to achieve meaningful connectivity for all.
