In April 2006, UNGIS (United Nations Group on the Information Society) was endorsed by the UN-Chief Executives Board (CEB) as the new inter-agency mechanism with the main objective to coordinate substantive and policy issues facing the United Nations' implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

L'Office des Nations Unies à Genève accueille le 22 mai prochain une table ronde sur le rôle-clef des technologies de l'information et des communications (TIC) dans la réalisation des Objectifs de développement agréés au niveau international.

The Global Alliance for ICT and Development (GAID) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organized a Global Forum on Youth and ICT for Development: Youth and ICT as Agents of Change, that helped harness the creativity and dynamism that the youth has in exploring and exploiting ICT for their own benefit and for the benefit of their peers and communities in advancement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Forum aimed at actively engaging youth in debates and discussions with their peer representatives, policy makers, private sector, technology and thought leaders and others in exploring ways to empower the community and to participate more fully in society through the appropriate and responsible use of ICT.
