About the event

Organized under the overall theme Bridging the digital divide – a global agenda for the future, this multi-stakeholder event will address the challenges and opportunities arising from ITU’s efforts for connecting the unconnected and build stronger cooperation among governments worldwide, while focusing on stimulating dialogue between parliamentarians, policymakers, and business leaders.

The overall objective of the Parliamentarian – Private Sector Forum is, therefore, to offer strategic considerations for lawmakers and private sector representatives, in their approach to communications and digital development at a national level.
