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 (Rev.
Hyderabad, 2010).

CIS Branch of the Centre of Excellence for CIS
7RER07018 | Brief Description: In the CIS region, the Project aims at bringing into operation a network of excellence amongst potential content providers, like universities, technological institutions, training centres, etc., as well as service and technology providers who will provide on-line solutions together with face-to-face seminars. As well, the realization of the Project results in the implementation of a priority CIS regional initiative on Future Development and Establishment of "Centres of Excellence" and Creation of a Learning Space, which was adopted by the WTDC-06 (Resolution 17, Rev. Doha, 2006).
The experience learnt in Phase I as well as during previous ITU Distance Learning Projects has shown that there is a growing interest from the participating countries. However, this needs to be consolidated to achieve a long-term sustainability in the project. | Beneficiary Countries:
CIS countries
From 2007
until 2012
Funding Partners:
ITU (ICT-DF)
Financial Scale (in CHF): 100'000 - 500'000International Telecommunication Union - Central Science Research Telecommunication Institute: International Telecommunication Testing Centre
7RER07820 | Brief Description: Under this project, ITU and ZNIIS will collaborate to create an International Telecommunication Testing Centre (ITTC) for new technologies and will train telecom specialists from developing countries. Methodical testing on Next Generation Networks (NGN) in particular will be carried out at the ITTC through creating a model network that can simulate different network parameters and use multi-vendor equipment. The results of these tests will be documented and shared. Training material on NGN testing will also be developed together with hands-on laboratories, in order to deliver workshops.
This project has been designed in line with the Recommendation of the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) 2006 in Qatar to establish International Centres for NGN testing. | Beneficiary Countries:
