Great to welcome policymakers, government officials, and ICT regulators to the #ITUAcademy course on evidence-based digital policies for universal and meaningful connectivity, delivered in collaboration with @UNUMERIT.

The world we are working towards is one where everyone can access and benefit from the internet, yet deep digital divides remain. To design effective policies that address the needs of those being left behind, we need to go deeper into the data and bring that evidence into policymaking.
