Why pledge?

Digital connectivity plays a central role in our daily lives. The 2011-2020 Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) recognizes ICT networks as an infrastructure priority ; however, meaningful digital connectivity remains a major challenge for all countries and for LDCs, Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in particular. Today, 2.7 billion people remain offline. Digital connectivity can be a key enabler for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and for countries to leap-frog in various areas, includingeducation, health,government services and trade. It can also act as a powerful conduit to deliver innovative services and applications and catalyse new business opportunities.

Achieving meaningful universal connectivity is an ambitious goal, which can only be achieved through multistakeholder collaboration and partnerships . ITU is coordinating and partnering with other relevant international leader level platforms such as the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development and the UNSG Roadmap for Digital Cooperation to turn P2C into a game-changer opportunity to mobilize resources needed to meaningfully connect the world.
