World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) - Geneva Plan of Action

Abstract: 
This action plan aims to promote the Information Society at multiple levels (national, regional, international) and identifies multiple stakeholders (governments, the private sector, civil society, international institutions). It highlights the advantages of the "unique two-phase structure"‌ of the WSIS in implementing the action plan. The national targets primarily focus on connecting various public spaces (villages, universities, scientific and research centers, libraries, museums, hospitals) with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by 2015.
