Paragraph 28 of the Geneva Plan of Action stressed the need for an international performance evaluation and benchmarking to follow up the implementation of the objectives, goals and targets in the Plan of Action. Para 112-120 of the Tunis Agenda further called for periodic evaluation of the implementation of WSIS using appropriate indicators and benchmarking.

The multi-stakeholder WSIS community should agree on a way forward for both assessing the current situation and identifying ways of measuring progress towards the Goals of C5.

With less than 8 years left to meet the goals of WSIS, it is vital to measure progress towards the implementation of WSIS Action Line C.5. This session provides an overview of current activities related to measurement of WSIS Action Line C5 from different stakeholders.
