Capacity Building and ICT Policy, Regulatory and Legislative Frameworks
Support for Pacific Island Countries (ICB4PAC)
  Adopted by the ITU
Member States at World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC, Doha,
2006), the Doha Action Plan includes five regional initiatives for Asia & the
Pacific region. This project is one of the initiatives and seeks to use
telecommunications and ICTs to foster socio-economic development by ensuring
that the necessary policies, legislation and human capacity requirements are met
and that solutions provided advance the achievement of national, sub-regional
and international development targets.
The project fulfils the needs expressed by the
Pacific Island countries concerned in the domains of
capacity building on ICT policies and regulations in one hand and of e-readiness
in the other hand. It aims at building human and institutional capacity in the
field of ICT through a range of targeted training, education and knowledge
sharing measures, as well as developing background material for possible
harmonized policies for the ICT market.
The project will address the policy and e-readiness challenges facing the
beneficiary countries with the goal of creating an environment where the human
capacity will encourage investments in the ICT infrastructure and ICT-enabled
applications which the countries will adopt for day to day use in their economic
and social activities.
