Measuring ICT for development: the importance of data and statistics in the implementation of the WSIS and the Global Digital Compact
Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development
Session 328
This session will build on the session at the WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event in 2024, with a forward-looking discussion linking the work of the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development to the implementation of WSIS action lines and the outcomes of the Summit of the Future. The discussion will consider the context of the WSIS+20 Review.
In 2025, the Partnership intends to conduct a quantitative assessment of WSIS+20 action lines implementation (a similar report was prepared by the Partnership for the WSIS+10 Targets Review in 2014). At the same time, the Partnership also must reflect on the role of ICT measurement to support the implementation of the Global Digital Compact, and proposes a mapping exercise of the current core ICT indicators and both the WSIS Action Lines and the GDC that could also identify areas that are not currently covered. The Partnership can significantly contribute to the discussion of indicators related to the assessment and monitoring of the GDC.
