Global Digital Compact - Stakeholder Input Needed
Dear Listers, Following the political declaration adopted at the occasion of the United Nations’ 75th anniversary <https://undocs.org/en/A/RES/75/1> in September 2020, the Secretary-General in September 2021 released his report *Our Common Agenda*PDF <https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agenda-report/assets/pdf/Common_Agenda_Report_English.pdf>. The Common Agenda proposes a Global Digital Compact to be agreed at the Summit of the Future in September 2024 through a technology track involving all stakeholders: governments, the United Nations system, the private sector (including tech companies), civil society, grass-roots organizations, academia, and individuals, including youth. The Global Digital Compact is expected to “outline shared principles for an open, free and secure digital future for all”. The Common Agenda report suggests issues that it might cover, including digital connectivity, avoiding Internet fragmentation, providing people with options as to how their data is used, application of human rights online, and promoting a trustworthy Internet by introducing accountability criteria for discrimination and misleading content. Contributions are open by 31 March 2023 - see more information here - https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact Participate in informal consultations led by Sweden and Rwanda - https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact/intergovernmental-proces...

Dear Ali and fellow Listers, Please accept my apologies. First, the Global Digital Compact is one of the 16 processes being discussed at the United Nations to realise the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda (OCA) initiative to set out principles for ‘an open, free, and secure digital future for all’. As per Ms Josephine Miliza's article, GDC aims to bring together the United Nations, governments, civil society organisations, the private sector, and other stakeholders to dialogue and agree to shared principles for an open, free, inclusive, secure, and shared digital future for all. There is a consensus that to ensure universal connectivity by 2030, everyone will have access to the Internet, digital technology, and services at an affordable cost. At the same time, we are conscious of ensuring the safety and security of accessibility, the system, and digital infrastructure. Therefore, "participating in the Compact, you can shape the global conversation about the role of digital technologies in society and ensure that the voices of individuals, civil society organisations, and businesses are heard." *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 <https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-indeje/> On Tue, 14 Feb 2023 at 11:38, Ali Hussein via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
