 At BCG, we have identified closing the digital divide as a key enabler to realize the SDGs. We have decided to support the ITU's Partner to Connect Digital Coalition, as is it taking the lead with a holistic, collaborative approach to address digital inclusion where it is needed the most. The Partner to Connect Coalition brings together government, private sector, UN agencies and other international and regional organizations, civil society and youth groups to not only identify key issues, but also to jointly implement them. Getting people online now is therefore a critical task facing us all. At BCG, we have a unique combination of expertise in all functional aspects of how to achieve digital inclusion and also experience in running large, multi-stakeholder processes. This has allowed the ITU together with us to create the focus area action framework much more quickly and robustly than otherwise. At BCG, we are proud to help close the digital divide and look forward to help connecting the last 2.9 billion people that are still offline.
