World Development Information Day is observed every year on October 24, which is the same day as United Nations Day. This observance was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972, with the purpose of raising awareness about development issues and encouraging international cooperation to address global inequalities, particularly between developed and developing nations.
The theme for 2024 has yet to be officially announced, but it's expected to focus on key issues like digital inclusion, sustainable development, and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to tackle global challenges. This aligns with previous years' focus on leveraging ICT to accelerate progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The day emphasizes the importance of spreading information about development, mobilizing public opinion, and fostering global partnerships to enhance living standards and reduce poverty.
