Alignment of pledges with P2C Targets

The P2C Self-Reporting Form includes a section that intends to determine whether pledges are aligned to the targets established by the Coalition: the ITU Universal Meaningful Connectivity Targets 2030, the UN Broadband Commission Advocacy Targets, and the ITU Strategic Targets and Results Framework. These targets were grouped in categories as follows for easier reporting:

ACCESS targets


  • 100% of individuals aged 15 years and above use the Internet
  • 100% of individuals aged 15 years and above own a mobile phone
  • 100% of households are connected to the Internet
  • 100% of businesses are connected to the Internet
  • 100% of schools are connected to the Internet
  • Every school has minimum download speeds of 20 Mb/s
  • Every school has 50 kilobits per second (kb/s) available per student
  • Every school should have a minimum 200 gigabytes (GB) of data allowance
  • Enabling broadband-Internet user penetration to reach: i) 75% worldwide; ii) 65% in low- and middle-income countries; and iii) 35% in least developed countries
  • All fixed-broadband subscriptions are 10 megabits per second (Mb/s) or faster
  • Creation of country level National Broadband Plan (NBP) or strategy
  • By 2025, entry-level broadband services should be made affordable in low- and middle-income countries at less than 2% of monthly Gross National Income (GNI) per capita
  • Improved cyber security preparedness/resilience with key capabilities (e.g.: presence of strategy, national computer incident/emergency response teams and legislation)

ADOPTION targets


  • By 2025, 60% of youth and adults will achieve at least a minimum level of proficiency in sustainable digital skills
  • By 2030, 70% of connected individuals will possess basic digital skills (e.g.: sending emails)
  • By 2050, 50% of connected individuals will possess intermediate digital skills (e.g. installing new software/apps)
  • By 2030, gender parity score of 1 (equal access)

VALUE CREATION targets


  • 40% of the world’s population using digital financial services
  • Improve connectivity of micro-, small- and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) by 50%, by sector

The analysis of the data submitted indicates that most pledges (87%) demonstrate a commitment to enabling the set of targets established by the Coalition. This is an encouraging finding that demonstrates commitment towards the vision of a meaningfully connected planet outlined by the targets.

The top five targets currently being pursued by the pledges reported are:
