Session description

UNESCO indicators is currently at the drafting stage and will be finalized by the end of April. The draft contains above 200 options for indicators, developed under five categories covering human Rights, Openness, Accessibility, Multi-stakeholder participation and crosscutting issues, including indicators concerned with gender and the needs of children and young people, sustainable development, trust and security, as well as legal and ethical aspects of the Internet. The draft framework includes a mix of quantitative and qualitative Indicators. Eurodig stakeholders are welcome to provide their inputs and comments via the online platform for Internet indicators consultation: http://www.unesco.org/new/en/internetuniversality

Format

The session will be kicked out by a full presentation of the 2nd draft Internet Universality indicators by UNESCO representative Ms Xianhong Hu. An interactive discussion will be triggered afterwards with all participants on the implementation process of the final indicators and formulating partnerships and synergies for that purpose. EuroDig stakeholders will be invited to share their visions and exchange views on how Internet Universality indicators play an instrumental role for national actors to map the extent to which there is Internet Universality in a given country and contribute to evidence-based policy improvements by Member States.

Those interested participants are strongly suggested to read the draft indicators at the link.
