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

[Mesenbet Assefa]

Thank you Louise, 

We had a data deep dive workshop on the GDC in Addis, ECA conference Hall  this past Thursday, which was chaired by Ambassador Anna Karin and 
Ambassador Chola Milambo, the Co-facilitators of the GDC. It brought together CSOs, Academics, digital rights advocates and other stakeholders. 
We have echoed similar issues, but more consolidated outcome document such as this can have a much more effective impact. 
I will share my thoughts if i have anything to share. 

Best regards,

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.
