The Partner2Connect Digital Coalition is a United Nations multi-Agency joint programme of work, between the International Telecommunication Union, United Nations Tech Envoy, and UN High Representative for LMICs to connect all of the world's population to the internet. [1] [2] The Coalition aims to extend the benefits of ICT access - such as rights, representation, education, and healthcare - to the global population, by as a first step connecting them to the global community.
Framework
The Coalition's Framework of Action centers on pledges by public and private sector entities. It has four areas of action:
- Access ( Nick Read, Pamela Coke-Hamilton, Ursula Owusu)
- Adoption ( Brad Smith, Sima Sami Bahous)
- Value Creation ( Gopal Vittal, Achim Steiner)
- Accelerate ( Andile Ngcaba)
The framework is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Secretary-General's Roadmap on Digital Cooperation, the United Nations Common Agenda and its Global Digital Compact. [3]
Pledges
The Coalition gathers "pledges" of public and private sector participants. As of April 2023, $29.99B had been pledged across 118 countries, primarily LMICs. [4]
Ukraine
As of April 2023, over $120 million has been pledged to rebuild the telecommunication section of Ukraine, as well as commitments in the form of technical support and other assistance. [5]
