What is ITU’s role in P2C?

As the UN agency for digital technologies, ITU provides a neutral platform to coordinate the P2C Action Framework and support the mobilization, tracking, and monitoring of commitments made through P2C’s online pledging platform. While pledges may also be directed to ITU through existing or new programs and projects, this is not a requirement for submission.

Who can make a pledge?

The Coalition is open to entities, not individuals. Eligible entities include governments at all levels, such as local governments, municipalities, and regulatory bodies.
