Preparatory Process

Open Consultation Process (OCP)


The WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025, co-organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNDP and UNCTAD will serve as a platform for discussion of the WSIS+20 review and the WSIS Action Lines and to take stock of the achievements and key trends, challenges and opportunities since the Geneva Plan of Action.

The Open Consultation Process (OCP) is an open and inclusive consultation with WSIS stakeholders aimed at preparing for the WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025. This process is designed to help shape the event program, identify gaps in the implementation of the Geneva Plan of Action and the WSIS Action Lines, and contribute to the WSIS+20 review process.

All stakeholders are encouraged to actively engage in the OCP by participating in consultative meetings and submitting input through the official submission form.
