In close coordination with the Secretariat, P2C Champions provide strategic guidance, advising on the direction and focus of the Coalition including the mobilization and implementation of pledges at the country level. P2C Champions are strong advocates of the principles of universal and meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation for all; they also advocate for the growth of Partner2Connect at the local, regional, and global levels. P2C Champions are therefore key to the amplification of the Coalition’s message and activities through personal networks, platforms, and social media channels.
