The event introduces the ESCWA National Digital Inclusion Policy Template for the Arab Region and showcases selected national experiences in developing and implementing digital inclusion and digital accessibility policies.
Discussions explore how artificial intelligence (AI) supports digital inclusion without creating new forms of exclusion. They examine policies and innovative approaches to meaningful access and use, accessibility, skills, labour-market opportunities and community participation, including how AI improves services and expands socioeconomic opportunities.
The event brings together policymakers from member states, representatives of the private sector, including technology companies and startups, academia and research centres, non-governmental organizations, and relevant regional and international organizations.
