By joining the Initiative, the DTCs become part of a global network of organisations sharing a common vision and committed to accelerating the uptake of digital technologies among citizens as well as to boosting their capacities to integrate into the digital economy and society.
ITU and Cisco have been facilitating networking opportunities for the DTCs by organising face-to-face workshops and virtual meetings held every year. These meetings contribute to strengthening the global DTC community and provide a platform to discuss the implementation of the Initiative, review the progress made and results achieved, as well as exchange experiences and lessons learned among DTCs.
