Focus Session:

Internet as an Engine for growth

The Internet Community in the Post-MDG Process

Objective of this Focus Session



The Objective of this Focus Session is to share experiences on how Internet
Governance related issues have made a concrete impact on development and at
the same time explore how the Internet community can get involved with the
UN’s Post-2015 Development Agenda process.



There are many concrete experiences around the world that can be used as
examples and can be easily replicable at the local and national level in
other countries. Concrete examples will be briefly presented during the
focus session by those who were involved in them. Time for interaction with
the audience will be crucial for others to learn from what has been
achieved.



As development is related with the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) this
session will also give IGF participants an overview of what the MDGs are,
who and what UN agencies and NGOs are involved in them.

Session format:

Presentations followed by discussion:

Part 1: Presentation of concrete examples of IG impacting development and
growth.

Part 2: Briefing about background in the MDGs process and basic information
on how WSIS follow up relates to sustainable development.

Part 3: Interactive session: Internet as an Engine for growth. How to
ensure WSIS’ Next 10 Years Better Support the Sustainable Development
Agenda.
