Abstract :

The WSIS Process, under the ITU¡¯s leadership, has provided a multistakeholder framework on
digital collaboration for development at the international, regional and local level.
The Framework of the WSIS Action Lines and the participation of ITU and other UN Agencies
in implementing this is still relevant and serves as an excellent mechanism for digital
transformation for development.
The WSIS Process provides an important framework for digital cooperation and
implementation in Africa and other regions and ITU should maintain its leadership position
for the WSIS Review and WSIS Beyond 2025.
Designing the ITU's role in the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the
World Summit on the Information Society will be beneficial in defining linkages between WSIS
process and other intergovernmental processes that are also addressing "digital cooperation".
