Celebrating four years, accelerating the next chapter

Four years after its launch, the ITU-led Partner2Connect Digital Coalition enters a milestone year. As we continue advancing our shared goal of achieving universal and meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation, commitments across the platform continue to grow in scale, diversity and ambition.
 
This webinar will celebrated four years of collective action while accelerating the next chapter of impact, with a special focus on youth initiatives and closing the digital gender gap, as well as empowering women and girls. Taking place in March, a month when global attention is placed on gender equality, the session aligned with ITU’s ongoing efforts and initiatives to advance digital inclusion for women and girls through partnerships, projects and targeted action.
 
The webinar will highlighted key outcomes from MWC26, welcomed new pledges, and showcased how the Coalition is mobilizing commitments and strengthening partnerships to drive inclusive digital transformation. Beyond the numbers, the session emphasized the human dimension of connectivity, particularly how digital access, skills and opportunities can transform the lives of youth, women and girls, unlocking education, entrepreneurship and economic participation.
 
A special “In Focus” segment will brought this theme to life, featuring guests who shared insights on advancing gender inclusion in the digital space, as well as real experiences from people impacted by these initiatives. The segment also explored opportunities for collaboration and partnerships to scale impact where it is needed most.

Participants also received updates on recent platform enhancements designed to improve visibility, matchmaking and reporting. The webinar concluded with a preview of the 2026 calendar of events, including opportunities to engage in person, announce new pledges and accelerate implementation throughout this milestone year for P2C.
