WSIS Fund in Trust

The WSIS Trust Fund was established in ​2​​011 with the adoption of Plenipotentiary Conference Resolution 140. Council Resolution 1332 as modified by ITU Council in May 2016 tak​es i​nto account the outc​omes of the United Nations General Assembly Overall Review of the Implementation of WSIS Outcomes and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable ​Developme​nt, a​nd resolves to maintain the fund to support ITU activities to facilitate the implement​ation of WSIS outcom​es, calls for partnerships and stra​tegic alliances, and invites the ITU Membership to make voluntary contributions to the fund.

Since its creation, inform​ation on the​ WSIS Trust Fund and stakeholder contributions has been reflected here— the dedicated website of the WSIS Fund in Trust. ITU thanks all those who hav​e contributed towards the Trust Fund to date for their dedication and commitment towards WSIS implementation, particularly towards the annual WSIS Forum events (2009-2023​). Moving towards 2025, and following the multi-stakeholder approach, the WSIS Forum will continue to build upon the outcomes of the WSIS+10 Review and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.​

The WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event is scheduled to be held from 27 to 31 May 2024, co-hosted by the Confederation of Switzerland in Geneva, with the support of remote participation.​ The trust and unwavering support from all stakeholders, especially the WSIS Trust Fund contributors, in supporting the adaption of the WSIS Forum to the new situation and innovative virtual format is appreciated. The W​SIS Forum 2023​ hybrid ​week welcomed more than 2,700 participants attending both on-site and remotely, from 150 countries worldwide. The outcome reports and highlights of the WSIS Forum 2023 can be found here.

All ITU membership and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to contribute to the WSIS Fund in Trust for the year 2024, and all stakeholders invited to partner with the WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event.
