Review

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

"I think the project is amazing.
For me it was important because it's a great opportunity to share information about a grassroot project globally. International character of reports make GISWatch unique: I don't know if there are any other opportunities to gather diverse experiences and specialists from different spheres."
- Daria Manshina, SYSMU, Russia- GISWatch author
"GISWATCH has an ambitious outlook: dealing with global issues through the lenses of local activists. The range of perspectives from around the world on chosen issues, is a unique factor of GISWATCH"
- Partha Sarker, Bytes for all, Bangladesh - GISWatch author
"The report is like a tool for evaluation, awareness, advocacy and monitoring."
- Ababacar Diop , Jonction, Senegal
