The Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) has concluded its participation at the UN Summit of the Future ahead of the UN General Assembly High-Level Week on September 22-23, 2024. The DCO’s activities emphasized multi-stakeholder digital cooperation to drive prosperity, in line with the Organization’s commitment to enable prosperity for all by accelerating the inclusive and sustainable growth of the digital economy.
On 22 September 2024, UN Member States approved the Global Digital Compact (GDC) with the goal of “an inclusive, open, sustainable, fair, safe and secure digital future for all”. Approved as part of the ‘Pact for the Future’, the Global Digital Compact will define the framework for governments to “work in collaboration and partnership with the private sector, civil society, international organizations, the technical and academic communities and all other stakeholders, within their respective roles and responsibilities, to realize the digital future we seek”. The GDC negotiations have been led by the Co-Facilitators, the Permanent Representatives of Sweden and Zambia to the United Nations.
Deemah AlYahya, Secretary-General of the DCO, said: “Cooperation is a key driver of digital prosperity, and we are delighted to see the Global Digital Compact approved, a pivotal framework that seeks to create a digital future that is inclusive, open, and safe for all. The GDC reflects a real need for inclusive and sustainable growth in the digital economy to foster prosperity.
The Digital Cooperation Organization is committed to fostering international, multi-stakeholder cooperation within the digital economy, and we are committed to playing an active role in the GDC’s implementation to bridge the global digital divide.”
DCO’s newly launched Digital Economy Navigator (DEN) aims to play a pivotal role in advancing the GDC for DCO Member States and Partners by contributing to well-informed stakeholder decision-making and prioritization. Announced by DCO Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya during the “SDG Digital”, the DEN is a unique tool that will enable countries to better understand the paths to digital economy maturity, find opportunities for growth, benchmark progress, and bridge the gap in digital economy maturity.
On the sidelines of the Summit of the Future, the DCO hosted a side event at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, titled ‘Fostering Global Digital Cooperation for Prosperity’.
The event provided a multi-stakeholder platform to explore innovative digital cooperation models and showcase actionable solutions for digital prosperity.
