Review

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

"For substantive policy action to take place more thoughtful leadership from virtual roundtables like GISWatch is needed."
- Catherine Candano
"The report is like a tool for evaluation, awareness, advocacy and monitoring."
- Ababacar Diop , Jonction, Senegal
"There is genuine need for the new spaces opened by this project , which at the same time sharing different country experiences building plat form for solidarity and supporting different communities to share their challenges and to show the state violations of its international HR obligation. The report development for me is a learning process and opportunity to meet other activists and defenders from different country sharing the same values and principles"
- Liemia Eljaili Abubkr - Freelance Journalist - Sudan – GISWatch author
