The Worldwide Centre of Excellence
(CoE) Network consists of regional mechanisms aimed at strengthening the
capacity within each region in order to develop high-level know-how and
expertise in telecommunication policy, regulatory issues, corporate management
and advanced telecommunication technology.
The Phase II
The Strategic focus of Phase 2 of the Global
Centres of Excellence project is on creating strong regional networks of
nodes that are capable of delivering products and services that meet the
quality of the CoE brand while ensuring regional self sufficiency in the
expertise required to deliver these training services. Strengthening
regional Networks is a necessary precondition for preparing the integration
of all the Nodes into one Global Network of Excellence.
The Phase II will be implemented step by step for each region,
taking into account the extent of progress made in Phase I. In general however,
it will focus on consolidating of the gains made in Phase I, the establishment of independent nodes within the regions and the creation of networks among the
created nodes. This is in preparation for the establishment of a Global network
of nodes of Excellence, to be embarked on as part of the third and Final Phase
of the project.
