[Pal-dc] New report on the WSIS ICT Targets - Achievements, Challenges, & the Way Forward

[Melody Clark]

The Final WSIS Targets Review: Achievements, Challenges and the Way Forward was launched at the occasion of the WSIS+10 High Level Event, in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the achievements made towards the WSIS Targets that governments agreed upon at the World Summit on the Information Society, and:


  *   Reviews progress made on each one of the WSIS Targets, which range from connecting villages, schools and health centres to developing content and providing people with ICT access
  *   Draws attention to the availability (and lack) of data to track progress today, and over time
  *   Makes recommendations on policies that are most relevant in impacting the WSIS Targets
  *   Reviews the relevance of targets and indicators to track the information society
  *   Highlights lessons learnt and makes recommendations on a possible future (post-2015) ICT measurement framework
  *   Links a possible post-2015 ICT monitoring framework to the post-2015 Development Agenda
