Working title: UNESCO Session: Launching IGF Dynamic Coalition on Measuring Digital inclusion for building inclusive Knowledge Societies
Session description
In line with the implementation of IFAP Strategic Plan 2023-2029, the Information for All Programme (IFAP), jointly with Global Digital Inclusion Partnership (GDIP) and the newly founded IGF Dynamic Coalition (DC) on Measuring Digital Inclusion, with the presence of DC partners including will gather partner institutions such as the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the Regional Centre for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (CETIC), the United Nations University Group on Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV), and Tech and Global Affairs Innovation Hub.
The session, aims engage with European and international stakeholders and leaders for triggering policy discussion on how to join synergies and advance inclusive digital governance and create digital ecosystems that are accessible to everyone, including women and girls.
The discussion builds upon the insights derived from the IFAP Working Groups-organized events such as the AI for Accessibility (AI4IA) Conference and global brainstorming on implementing AI ethics recommendation of UNESCO. Therefore, the session sheds light on frontier technologies’ impact on advancing digital inclusion and knowledge societies, and how to apply evidence-based approaches and digital measurements frameworks to shape inclusive AI governance, regulation and policies through the newly founded Dynamic Coalition.
As highlighted in its new IFAP Strategic Plan 2023-2029, IFAP aims to mainstream principles and policies for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable Knowledge Societies into national development plans and digital transformation processes, including employing measurement frameworks to address digital inequalities between and within countries and communities.
IFAP thus promotes a number of UNESCO’s related principles and measurement frameworks which are at the forefront of fostering digital inclusion including UNESCO Internet Universality ROAM-X Principles and indicators (human Rights-based, Open to all, Accessible by all, and Multi-stakeholder participation), Knowledge Societies Policy Handbook, and the implementation of 2019 Recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER). IFAP also works extensively with partners and stakeholders to promote evidence based digital inclusion and share good practices such as “Meaningful Connectivity: measurement proposals and the portrait of the population in Brazil” by CETIC, and the UN E-Government Survey with UNDESA.
The session has three objectives:
- Delve into the application of evidence-based approaches and digital measurement frameworks to advance inclusive digital governance. This includes employing measurement frameworks to address digital inequalities between and within countries and communities including women and girls’ empowerment in technology.
- Explore the multiple implications of frontier digital technologies such as AI including generative AI, quantum technology, etc, on building digital inclusion and knowledge societies, with a focus on promoting monitoring mechanisms to inform evidence-based policymaking related to frontier digital technologies.
- Invite European stakeholders to join the Dynamic Coalition and discuss the strategy, actions, work plans and synergies among Coalition members. Shed light on the Coalition’s organisation awareness campaigns aimed at fostering multi-stakeholder dialogues, showcasing achievements, and conducting policy studies.
