| dc.description | The 17th Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was hosted by the Government of Ethiopia with the support of UN ECA and UN DESA. The forum took place from 28 November to 2 December 2022 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the overarching theme of Resilient Internet for a Shared Sustainable and Common Future. There were five themes that guided the agenda of the meeting, drawn from the Global Digital Compact found in the UN Secretary-General's report on Our Common Agenda.
The 17th annual IGF was hosted in a hybrid format. The meeting aimed at accommodating the participation of stakeholders present onsite in Addis Ababa or participating online in an equitable manner. This hybrid approach also extended to the session organizing teams (organizers, speakers, moderators, and rapporteurs) who participated online or onsite.
The overall objective was to make participation in IGF 2022 meaningful and inclusive for all participants.
The Africa Annual WSIS Review session was held on 28 Nov 2022. The speakers were representatives of UNECA representative of ITU representatives of African Government delegates from the private sector and civil society, Mactar Seck and Hilda Jacob Mwakatumbula, UNECA; and Rapporteur Margaret Nyambura Ndung'u, African Union Commission. The objective of this 2022 regional WSIS follow-up and review session was to bring together key main actors in the ICT sector across the continent and the world to discuss within the post-Covid-19 context how we can fully improve the digital framework in the continent and to showcase the best practices and innovative solution developed on how African countries are implementing the WSIS Action Lines in the attainment of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union Agenda 2063. The session also raised awareness of the Global Digital Compact, shape our digital goals, and amplify the voices of Africans. | en |
