WSIS Fund in Trust

The WSIS Trust Fund was established in 2011 with the adoption of Plenipotentiary Conference Resolution 140. Council Resolution 1332 as modified by ITU Council 2024 takes into account the outcomes of the United Nations General Assembly Overall Review of the Implementation of WSIS Outcomes and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and resolves to maintain the fund to support ITU activities to facilitate the implementation of WSIS outcomes, calls for partnerships and strategic alliances, and invites the ITU Membership to make voluntary contributions to the fund.

Since its creation, information on the WSIS Trust Fund and stakeholder contributions has been reflected here— the dedicated website of the WSIS Fund in Trust. ITU thanks all those who have contributed towards the Trust Fund to date for their dedication and commitment towards WSIS implementation, particularly towards the annual WSIS Forum events (2009-2024). Moving towards 2025, and following the multi-stakeholder approach, the WSIS Forum will continue to build upon the outcomes of the WSIS+10 Review and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.​

The WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event 2024 was held from 27 to 31 May 2024, co-organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNDP, and UNCTAD and co-hosted by ITU and the Swiss Confederation. The Event gathered over 4,000 participants onsite and online, including nearly 80 ministers, deputies, and heads of regulatory authorities. With representation from 160 countries, the Event featured more than 500 high-level participants engaging in around 200 sessions with over 100 speakers. The outcome reports and highlights of the 2024 Event can be found here.

The WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025 is scheduled to be held from 7 to 11 July 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland, with the support of remote participation. The trust and unwavering support from all stakeholders, especially the WSIS Trust Fund contributors, is appreciated.

All ITU membership and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to contribute to the WSIS Fund in Trust for the year 2025, and all stakeholders invited to partner with the WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025.
