Regional Initiatives
Considering the outcome of the (WTDC-10) and Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-10) such as the strengthening of the executing agency role of ITU, the strengthening of regional presence and the need to seek new funding mechanisms, partnerships for accelerating telecommunication and ICT development, amongst others, the regionally approved initiatives determine a broad framework of priority areas to be addressed within each of the six regions i.e. Americas, CIS, Asia-Pacific, Arab Region, Africa and Europe.
Under the approved regional initiatives the ITU-D is expected to implement large-scale projects that require partnership with public,
private, international, regional, national, technical and financial actors. For more details, please see the
WTDC-10 Resolution 17
