Review

2024 special edition - WSIS+20: Reimagining horizons of dignity, equity and justice for our digital future

"With your help I feel I am improving my writing from one report to the next"
- GISWatch helps improve skills in training and lecturing
"ICT policy issues were not a priority for our organization previously. Due to GISW we got involved in this areas and disseminate these ideas in the Romanian NGO and academic communities."
- Rozalia Klara Bako - StrawberryNet Foundation and Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Romania - GISWatch author
"The project is very valuable and provides fantastic insight to the subjects as it tries to get first hand information from the writers from/within the countries in question. I think this way it creates an alternative resource to those that are prepared by Western institutions by going to these countries for few weeks only. Therefore GISWatch provides a much more authentic information."
- Gunes Tavmen, Hun Consulting, Turkey - GISWatch author
