WSIS Forum in 2025, branded as the WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025, will facilitate multistakeholder dialogue and drive action by assessing achievements, key trends, and challenges since the 2003 Geneva Plan of Action. It will also provide a crucial platform for the international community to build on the outcomes of the Summit of the Future and strengthen global digital cooperation for a renewed, forwardlooking vision.

Ahead of the UN General Assembly's (UNGA) twenty-year review, the event will provide an opportunity to review the progress made in the implementation of the WSIS Outcomes under the mandates of participating agencies and to take stock of the achievements made in the last 20 years based on reports of WSIS Stakeholders, including those submitted by ITU Member States and other stakeholders.

WSIS-SDG Matrix

Linking WSIS Action Lines with Sustainable Development Goals: this mapping exercise draws direct linkages of the WSIS Action Lines with the SDGs to continue strengthening the impact of ICTs for sustainable development. Each UN Action Line Facilitator has analyzed the connections and relations of their respective Action Line with the proposed SDGs and their targets.

The goal is to create a clear and direct link and an explicit connection between the key aim of the WSIS, that of harnessing the potential of ICTs to promote and realize the development goals, and the post 2015 development agenda, so as to contribute to the realisation of the latter.
