World Development Information Day is being observed today. The United Nations General Assembly established this day in 1972, and since then, it has been marked every year on October 24 around the world.
The day highlights the importance of information and communication technologies (ICT) in addressing development challenges. In the context of globalization, ICT has made it possible to find innovative solutions that support economic growth, enhance competitiveness, increase access to information and knowledge, promote poverty reduction, and strengthen social inclusion. The day serves as a reminder of the role information plays in promoting sustainable development globally.
