Raise awareness about your e-agriculture projects, training and other initiatives globally

In addition to reaching the world's largest ICT for agriculture community right here on e-Agriculture, you can raise awareness of your work through larger ICT for development initiatives.

As part of the global, multi-stakeholder World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) process, ITU leads the WSIS Stocktaking initiative.

Since 2005 regular reporting has been a key tool for monitoring the progress of ICT initiatives and projects worldwide and this role takes on even greater significance in the light of the WSIS+10 review process on the implementation of WSIS outcomes. www.wsis.org/stocktaking
WSIS Stocktaking process provides a register of activities carried out by governments, international organizations, the business sector, civil society and other entities. To this end, in accordance with §120 of the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society adopted by the Summit, ITU has been maintaining the WSIS Stocktaking Database as a publicly accessible system providing information on ICT-related initiatives and projects with reference to the 11 WSIS Action Lines (Geneva Plan of Action) and assisting with the WSIS Follow-up, beyond the conclusion of the Tunis phase of the Summit.

Over 6200 updated entries have been registered in the electronic database reflecting innovative activities including projects, programmes, WSIS thematic meetings, conferences, publications, training initiatives, guidelines and tool-kits. The new display of project information allows stakeholders to add value for WSIS related activities at the international level and foster partnerships among stakeholders.

The results of the previous call for update and new entries were presented in the fifth edition of the Report on WSIS Stocktaking reflecting more than 700 WSIS-related activities for the period May 2012-May 2013.

Now you have the opportunity to highlight your work to a global audience as part of the WSIS Stocktaking: 2013-2014 Call for Update and New Entries. Submitted activities will be reflected in the WSIS Stocktaking Report 2014, which will be officially launched during the WSIS+10 High-Level Event and submitted to the 17th Session of Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD).

All submissions and any associated documentation must be received by 1st December 2013.
