Created by UNESCO Member States in 2001, the Information for All Program (IFAP) provides a platform for international co-operation and partnerships aimed at building inclusive and sustainable Knowledge Societies. Central to IFAP’s contributions is its support to digital policy formulation and exchanges of experiences, including for the generation of robust evidence for digital development that promotes access to information.
The YOUthDIG Call for Applications closed recently and we received 275 submissions from all over Europe. 159 applicants are women, 113 are men and 3 are non-binary, of which 30 are offered funding to participate.


As good policy requires good evidence to underpin identification of opportunities and gaps, and analyses that yield recommendations, IFAP raises awareness of and advocates for monitoring mechanisms and analytical frameworks that facilitate decision-making to advance digital ecosystem. Some are UNESCO’s own frameworks, such as the Internet Universality ROAM-X Principles (human Rights, Openness, Accessibility, Multistakeholder participation) and indicators, the SDG 16.10.2 on public access to information, the Media and Information Literacy Assessment Framework, among others. In addition, and to build complementary and synergy, IFAP works extensively with partners and stakeholders to identify and promote relevant sources of evidence to various issues affecting digital ecosystems, including indicators such as those in the UN e-Government Survey published by UNDESA, ITU’s digital skills measures, meaningful connectivity, reports such as those by the Regional Center for the Study of the Development of the Information Society (CETIC) located in Brazil, and by the Alliance for Affordable Internet.
'''The question we want to address is: how can we include the 245 applicants who did not receive funding?'''


This year has also been marked by swift and deep change in digital ecosystems, and more is to come, as new governance and regulatory mechanisms are discussed at global, regional and national levels,
In previous years we invited them to attend EuroDIG and sent follow up emails with links about opportunities such as the ISOC Ambassador programme, NextGen/ICANN Fellowship or how to reach their local NRIs, including our How to get involved guide. However, we identified that the conversion rate was low, and we understand that it can be difficult to access these spaces when there is no active call to participate or contribute.


This year is also marked by global discussions and consultations on principles for a Global Digital Compact, and how to leverage global collaboration to advance on the UN '''Secretary-General’s Roadmap for Digital Cooperation'''. New issues and frameworks will likely be proposed and developed, making it relevant that IFAP raises awareness of these new processes and engage its networks in multi-stakeholder collaboration in reflecting how current monitoring experiences can inform creation and/or strengthening future monitoring exercises and generate timely and relevant evidence to underpin policy recommendations in new areas, such, as a simple example, the impacts of specific emerging technologies on sustainable development.
Therefore we would like to present to you our upcoming EuroDIG webinar on “Participating at EuroDIG and connecting locally”.

Session description

The YOUthDIG Call for Applications closed recently and we received 275 submissions from all over Europe. 159 applicants are women, 113 are men and 3 are non-binary, of which 30 are offered funding to participate.

The question we want to address is: how can we include the 245 applicants who did not receive funding?

In previous years we invited them to attend EuroDIG and sent follow up emails with links about opportunities such as the ISOC Ambassador programme, NextGen/ICANN Fellowship or how to reach their local NRIs, including our How to get involved guide. However, we identified that the conversion rate was low, and we understand that it can be difficult to access these spaces when there is no active call to participate or contribute.

Therefore we would like to present to you our upcoming EuroDIG webinar on “Participating at EuroDIG and connecting locally”. In order to participate in this webinar please register here.

The intended audience are applicants who are newcomers, but we will also be inviting all the European NRIs. Should you be part of communities who may be interested in also attending this event, please do not hesitate to let us know.
