ABOUT
In April 2006, UNGIS (United Nations Group on the Information Society) was endorsed by the UN-Chief Executives Board (CEB) as the new inter-agency mechanism with the main objective to coordinate substantive and policy issues facing the United Nations’ implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

WSIS+20 REVIEW
20 YEARS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WSIS PROCESS
The WSIS+10 Review in 2015 marked the tenth anniversary of the Summit and provided an opportunity to evaluate the advancements in in implementing the WSIS outcomes.
Similarly, the WSIS+20 Review in 2025, facilitated by the General Assembly, would assess the progress and challenges over two decades since the inception of WSIS. As we approach the 20th anniversary of WSIS, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive review, to take stock of the achievements and key trends, challenges and opportunities since the Geneva Plan of Action.
Towards the WSIS+20 review, efforts have been made to establish a unified WSIS+20 review preparatory process involving all UN Agencies, including ITU, UNESCO, UNDP, UNCTAD, UN DESA, and UN CSTD. Regular meetings are organised to facilitate collaborative discussions and planning, reflecting the joint and dedicated approach towards the WSIS+20 review.
