ICT for peace and partnership can promote peace, justice, and strong institutions and strengthen partnerships for the global goals.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 16–17 see to peace and partnership: they mean to promote peace, justice, and strong institutions and strengthen the partnerships for the global goals. ICT can find direct and multiple applications across each SDG: it is an existing and already widely deployed set of technologies that can be mobilized to both boost and scale improvements; it ought to be a crucial enabler, particularly if it helps poorer countries leapfrog development milestones.
