The 2025 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) will focus on the theme "Gender Equality in Digital Transformation," emphasizing the need for inclusive digital access and opportunities for all. To support this mission, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) invites public and private sector partners to collaborate through its Partner2Connect Digital Coalition.

Observed annually on May 17th since 1969, WTISD commemorates the ITU’s founding and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.

Since 2012, Vanuatu has been actively participating in this global initiative, organizing National ICT Days in key locations such as Port Vila, Luganville, Santo, and SANMA Province, with the most recent regional celebrations taking place in May 2024, at the convention center in Port-Vila.

In 2025, the event will take place in Luganville, Santo, at Unity Park, spanning five days from May 12th to 16th. This year’s theme highlights the critical role of gender equality in driving digital progress and ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital era.

Join us as we work together to advance gender equality and digital transformation in Vanuatu!
