One of the possible contributions of the OEWG in this regard could be to recommend the
establishment of a capacity-building coordination mechanism to help match needs and available
resources. Given the prominent role played by the private sector, which owns and operates most
of the world’s ICT infrastructure, as well as the expertise of academia and civil society, such a
mechanism should be structured with a view to harnessing and optimizing contributions by all
relevant stakeholders.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
