Review

2024 special edition - WSIS+20: Reimagining horizons of dignity, equity and justice for our digital future

"The report brings the discussion on those themes to the local grassroots, policy and government officials who might not have a culture of community input or multistakholderims"
- Hamza Ben Mehrez, iGmena, Tunisia
"The annual GISWatch reports have become must-read material for analysts and activists concerned with the social, economic and political effects of information and communication technologies."
- GISWatch reports a "must-read"
"I think this is a very important and fascination project, and it is impressive how you managed to put together experts from so many different countries."
- Maria Pasholok, Hromadske.TV, Ukraine - GISWatch author
