Preetam Maloor provided an overview of the Connect 2020 agenda, an ITU initiative that identifies ICTs as a key enabler for development and includes child online protection as an agenda priority. Maloor reviewed the ITU’s history of developing indicators to measure communications use globally. ITU provides global guidelines for cross-national comparative measures of ICTs in its Manual for measuring ICT access and use by households and individuals (2014). Maloor described a shifting focus away from isolated projects and toward results-based approaches in response to the renegotiation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This shift involved building a multistakeholder network and identifying tangible goals with dates for achievement. To develop their Child Online Protection initiative, the ITU developed guidelines for its stakeholder categories, and has identified five pillars for policy and intervention action: legal measures, technical and procedural measures, organisational structures, capacity building, and international cooperation.
