The 2022 cohort of the Generation Connect – Arab Youth Envoys (GC-ARB) aimed to provide a unique participative process for youth to contribute to the work of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in the Arab region.

It offered the Arab youth a virtual platform to discuss opportunities and challenges related to digital technologies. Through this platform, youth were invited to share with the ITU membership their interests, concerns and perspectives on digital transformation, especially in the context of the ITU Regional Preparatory Meeting for Arab (RPM-ARB) for the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) held in June 2022. The 2022 GC-ARB Youth Envoys aimed at the elaboration of a crowd-sourced document presented by the digital youth envoys after the RPM-ARB.

This 2022 cohort of the Generation Connect ARB Youth Envoys carried out their engagement in the context of the ITU Youth Strategy, in particular, within the framework of the “Generation Connect” global initiative. It also contributed to the implementation of digital inclusiveness in the Arab region.
