WSIS+20: WSIS Review Process

20-Year Reports on the Implementation of WSIS Outcomes

WSIS Forum in 2025, branded as the WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025, will facilitate multistakeholder dialogue and drive action by assessing achievements, key trends, and challenges since the 2003 Geneva Plan of Action. It will also provide a crucial platform for the international community to build on the outcomes of the Summit of the Future and strengthen global digital cooperation for a renewed, forwardlooking vision. Ahead of the UN General Assembly's (UNGA) twenty-year review, the event will provide an opportunity to review the progress made in the implementation of the WSIS Outcomes under the mandates of participating agencies and to take stock of the achievements made in the last 20 years based on reports of WSIS Stakeholders, including those submitted by ITU Member States and other stakeholders.

All WSIS Stakeholders and ITU Member States are encouraged to submit 20-Year Reports on the Implementation of the WSIS Outcomes based on the corresponding templates below:
