Road to Addis Digital Development series

The events of the Road to Addis Digital Development series took place across the entire year and capitalized on opportunities to create global awareness around WTDC and the 6 enablers. The final event of the Road to Addis series was in September 2021 at the UN General Assembly, where the conclusions, outcomes for connectivity, and the key messages to accelerate digital transformation at WTDC were presented. This final event also served to mark the starting point of a global call to action for the 6 enablers of connectivity, such as partnership, inclusion, financing, leadership, innovation and youth.

The Road to Addis was designed with three goals in mind:

• Build momentum and awareness towards WTDC
• Engage key stakeholders and communities, and
• Provide an inclusive platform to discuss some of the key themes that will be addressed at the WTDC.

Built on the outcomes of the Road to Addis series, the Partner2Connect will mobilize new resources, partnerships, and commitments to achieve universal and meaningful connectivity by 2030.
