Promoting an Enabling Environment “Programme 1: Regulatory Reform” of the WTDC Doha Action Plan aims to assist Member States in developing an enabling environment that fosters a supportive policy and regulatory framework providing incentives for investment and promoting universal access to ICTs. It has developed tools for effective regulation to help regulators keep up to date with the latest issues in the regulation of ICT's markets. It also aims to raise awareness and exchange experience and know-how, so countries can make the transition to the new telecommunication environment more easily.
