During the 2025 IGF cycle, the Policy Network on Meaningful Access (PNMA) will continue its efforts to address universal and meaningful connectivity, ensuring that access to the Internet is not only available but also relevant, inclusive, and sustainable for all communities, particularly those in the Global South and underserved regions. Building on the foundations laid in previous years, PNMA’s 2025 focus will center on:

• - Advancing the implementation of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) by identifying best practices and policy solutions    for meaningful access
• - Developing concrete strategies to measure progress and effectiveness in providing meaningful access
• - Strengthening multistakeholder cooperation among governments, civil society, technical experts, and the private sector to bridge digital divides
• - Curating and expanding PNMA’s repository of best practices and policy models to facilitate knowledge sharing and capacity building
• - Engaging in regional and global discussions to promote meaningful access, including through institutions such as the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the African Union, and the League of Arab States.

This work will be conducted through open and inclusive consultations, including regular meetings and contributions from diverse stakeholders across sectors and regions. To stay informed and actively participate, we encourage you to subscribe to PNMA’s dedicated mailing list. The network welcomes community volunteers to contribute to research, case studies, and policy recommendations.
