Paper Abstract:
|
The UNs 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) includes a set of 17 goals, 169 specific targets and
232 indicators aimed at addressing the worlds most pressing challenges (e.g. inequality, poverty, climate change).
Information and communications technology (ICT) can play a key role in dealing with these issues. However, accelerated
efforts from a wider array of stakeholders, including those in the private and civil sectors, will be necessary to make real
progress. This paper explores ways in which ICT can help achieve the SDGs as well as frameworks for mapping ICT
interventions to SDGs and methods for assessing progress towards achieving these goals. |
