High-Level Track
20–21 March
The WSIS Forum builds upon the outcomes of the UN General Assembly Overall
Review of the implementation of the WSIS outcomes (UNGA Resolution 70/125),
which recognized the necessity of holding this Forum on an annual basis and
called for a close alignment between WSIS and the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG) processes. The WSIS Forum will therefore serve as a key forum
for discussing the role of ICTs as a means of implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals and targets, with due regard to the global
mechanism for follow-up and review of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development (UNGA Resolution A/70/1).
The high-level track consisted of the opening segment, high-level policy sessions, ministerial
round table, and a high-level networking programme. Policy statements were delivered during
the high-level policy sessions by high-ranking officials of the WSIS
Stakeholder community, representing Government, Private Sector, Civil Society, Academia and
International Organizations. The high-level policy sessions were moderated by high-level track
facilitators and was grouped around different themes identified as important by the WSIS
Stakeholders during the open consultation
process.
