Information about the project
Geneva Internet Platform
GIP
The Geneva Internet Platform is a centre for digital policy, comprising an online observatory and a capacity building centre. It assists governments, civil society, technical communities, and other Information Society stakeholders - with a focus on small and developing countries - to build the capacity to participate more efficiently in the global policy processes of Internet governance, in finding resources related to digital policy and governance, and engaging with other stakeholders. The GIP also fosters links between International Geneva and the global community. It is supported by the Swiss authorities and operated from Geneva by DiploFoundation and online through www.giplatform.org.
