About CSZ Summer School 2017 Android App

By nature of the country’s commitment to the Sustainable Development goals (SDGs), or the Global Agenda 2030, you automatically become a stakeholder to a promise to deliver on 169 targets of the goals by 2030. At this event together, we want to examine the catalytic role of ICTs to sustainable development. The event theme is “ICTs are critical tools for promoting human development and reducing inequalities”.

CSZ believe that the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in all solutions is vital to the achievement of the SDGs. Not only are ICTs a platform which integrate and accelerate all three pillars of sustainable development, which are – economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability – but they provide an innovative and effective Means of Implementation in today’s inter-connected world. The UN Secretary-General’s report outlining the call to action to transform our world puts information technology and the data revolution that it has enabled, at the heart of its analysis. It recognizes the transformational power of today’s technology in ending the enduring cycle of extreme poverty and hunger.
