World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)

Development Gateway ICT for Development WSIS Resources

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is being held in two phases. The first phase of WSIS took place in Geneva hosted by the Government of Switzerland from 10 to 12 December 2003. The second phase will take place in Tunis hosted by the Government of Tunisia, from 16 to 18 November 2005.

The leading UN agency organizing the Summit is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), but UNESCO is a co-organizer. UNESCO maintains a website as part of its contribution to the Summit.

As editor of the "information and communication technology for development" topic page of the Development Gateway, I have been helping to build a resource base for those interested in WSIS, and refer readers of this blog to that data base.
