1.
We recognise that it is now time to move from principles to
action, by encouraging stakeholders to take the Plan of Action
one step further, identifying those areas in which progress has
been made in implementing the commitments undertaken in
Geneva, and by defining those areas where further efforts and
resources are required.
2.
We acknowledge the leading role of governments in
implementing the WSIS Action Plan at the national level.
We encourage, as appropriate, those governments that have not
yet done so to elaborate comprehensive, forward looking and
sustainable national e-strategies, as an integral part of national
development plans, including poverty reduction strategies, in
partnership with other stakeholders[, by 2008].

implementation
3.
We value regional and international integration efforts as a
contribution to the development of the global Information
Society, and strong cooperation within and among regions is
indispensable. The regional dialogue should contribute to
national capacity-building and to the development, as
appropriate, of national e-strategies and, regional
implementation strategies. South-South cooperation shall be
enhanced in order to foster knowledge sharing.
4.
Exchange of views and the sharing of effective practices are
essential to implementing the Geneva decisions at the regional
and international levels. To this end, efforts should be made to
provide and share useful knowledge and know-how, related to
the elaboration, monitoring and evaluation of national e-
strategies and policies, as appropriate, in order to bridge the
digital divide.

human beings.

WSIS targets

We are committed to achieving the indicative targets, set out
in the Plan of Action, that serve as global references for
improving connectivity and access in the use of ICTs in
promoting the objectives of the Plan of Action, to be achieved
by 2015, and to using ICTs as a tool to achieve the development
goals of the Millennium Declaration, by:
