Civil society and academia are two essential halves of Africa’s knowledge ecosystem\, and their exchange is key to challenging outdated narratives and elevating perspectives rooted in African realities.  We warmly welcome your engagement in shaping the recommendations that can help guide the UN’s ongoing work on Africa. \n  \nConference Programme [All Sessions Held 10:00am to 1:00pm\, Conference Rm 2\, UNHQ] \nMonday\, 1 December: “The State of the State in Africa: Presence\, Perception\, and Performance in a Changing World” \nDiscussion will examine the historical and structural roots of State absence in Africa and its far-reaching consequences for peace\, security\, and development. It will explore how gaps in presence and legitimacy have shaped public trust\, governance\, and stability across the continent. \n  \nTuesday\, 2 December: “Transforming the State\, Reclaiming the Future: Pathways to African Renewal” \nDiscussion will focus on the transformation of the African State as the foundation for renewal. Building on the African Union’s 2025 theme on reparations\, it will explore structural justice and strategies to strengthen institutional capacity\, fiscal governance\, and the social contract for sustainable peace and development. \n  \nWednesday\, 3 December: “Ideas That Build Nations: Leveraging African Scholarship for a New Era of Policymaking” \nDiscussion will highlight the vital role of African scholarship in shaping policymaking and global debates. It will focus on strategies to elevate African intellectual leadership\, bridge research and policy\, and promote transformative approaches to governance\, justice\, and development. \n  \n**Participants are welcome to attend all or part of the conference and should feel welcome register for the session(s) that best fit their interests and availability.** \n  \nTo secure your seat at this event\, please register here by Tuesday\, 25 November 2025.   We look forward to your participation!

SUMMARY:Summit of the Future Action Days Side-Event: WSIS in Action: Shaping the Future of Digital Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:UNGIS/WSIS\, co sponsored by Malaysia\, Romania\, South Africa\, and the United Kingdom\nSession 535\nFriday\, 20 September 2024\n15:00–16:00 (UTC+02:00)\nPhysical (on-site) and Virtual (remote) participation \nRegister for virtual (remote) participation\nThis side event will be held virtually during the Summit of the Future Action Days. For those in New York\, attendance is also available in person at the UNDP Headquarters\, UN Plaza\, DC1\, 16th floor\, Conference Room 1608. \nThe World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) has been a pivotal global multistakeholder platform for digital cooperation and development since its inception in 2003. Over the past two decades\, WSIS has facilitated significant dialogue\, collaboration\, and innovation in the realm of information and communication technologies (ICTs)\, contributing to the shaping of the global digital landscape. As we approach the comprehensive WSIS+20 review in 2025\, it presents a critical opportunity to reflect on the progress made\, the challenges encountered\, and the future direction of digital transformation. \nThe WSIS+20 review will be instrumental in reaffirming the global community’s commitment to leveraging ICTs for the advancement of information and knowledge societies\, directly contributing to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This review will also align with the objectives of the Global Digital Compact\, aiming to establish a shared vision for digital cooperation and governance. \nTo emphasize the critical importance of translating the WSIS process into tangible actions at various levels of engagement\, this session will foster a dialogue on how to better align local and regional initiatives with the WSIS framework and the potential commitments under the Global Digital Compact.
