The overall objective of the Action Coalition is to enhance meaningful civil society participation in UN processes focusing on tech-solutions for online and hybrid meetings. This includes:

i) maximizing the opportunities and advantages of information and communications technology and digitalisation in UN meetings and processes.

ii) identifying, developing, and implementing technical solutions to bridge the digital divide and iii) promote a more open and inclusive civic space at the UN.
