[globalsouthdata] Global South Alliance: Position on the Global Digital Compact and the Summit of the Future

[Louise Karczeski]

Hello everyone,

Between the 9th and 10th of May, the UN Civil Society Conference
<https://www.un.org/en/civilsociety/2024uncsc> is happening in Nairobi. The
event is presented as an opportunity to engage civil society in preliminary
discussions ahead of the Summit of the Future.

In light of this and the publication of the zero draft of the Global
Digital Compact (GDC)
<https://www.un.org/techenvoy/sites/www.un.org.techenvoy/files/Global_Digital_Compact_Zero_Draft.pdf>,
partner organizations Data Privacy Brasil, Digital Rights Foundation
<https://digitalrightsfoundation.pk/>, Paradigm Initiative
<https://paradigmhq.org/>, Pollicy <https://pollicy.org/> and Research ICT
Africa <https://researchictafrica.net/company-profile/> developed a
position paper addressing some of the pressing issues for civil society in
the field of digital rights.

These issues were highlighted by the experiences of these organizations,
considering both the GDC process and the Summit of the Future. This
initiative stemmed from the meetings between members of the Global South
Alliance, of which all the authors are part of, although it does not
represent the views of all of its members.

Happy to hear your thoughts!
