Review

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

"ICT policy issues were not a priority for our organization previously. Due to GISW we got involved in this areas and disseminate these ideas in the Romanian NGO and academic communities."
- Rozalia Klara Bako - StrawberryNet Foundation and Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Romania - GISWatch author
"After reading through the 53 national reports, the truth seems unassailable. In report after report, electronic waste rises to the top of the list."
- Anthony Louis D'Agostino
"With your help I feel I am improving my writing from one report to the next"
- GISWatch helps improve skills in training and lecturing
