The Global Digital Compact (GDC), adopted during the Summit of the Future, emphasises the importance of taking a multistakeholder approach to Internet Governance and includes a commitment to strengthen and leverage multistakeholder cooperation to achieve the objectives set out in the GDC.
This event on October 31 aims to explore what effective multistakeholder cooperation should look like in practice when implementing and reviewing the GDC. Through two dynamic panel discussions, we will unpack mechanisms for engagement introduced by the GDC, clarify how the GDC could leverage the role of existing multistakeholder processes, such as WSIS or IGF, and map out key entry points for civil society to contribute to the implementation and follow-up process.
