UNESCO with its unique mandate to promote the free exchange of ideas and knowledge has played a key role in WSIS. UNESCO’s contribution incorporated the ethical, legal and sociocultural dimensions of the Information Society and helped to grasp the opportunities offered by the ICTs by placing the individual at its centre.
UNESCO plays its threefold role in the post-WSIS process as coordinator, facilitator and implementer:
Coodinator: UNESCO (with ITU & UNDP),coordinates overall implementation process including United Nations Group on the Information Society (UNGIS) and the WSIS Forum;
Facilitator: UNESCO facilitates the implementation of specific areas of work;
Implementor: UNESCO implements its programmes and initiatives that contribute to the achievements of WSIS goals.
