CoE Network for Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in Africa
| Project No | 9RAF08075 | |
| Title | CoE Network for Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in Africa | |
| Description |
The aim of this project is to build a dedicated Centre of Excellence mechanism to address the capacity needs of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in Africa. This is in recognition of the unique linguistic challenges they encounter in assimilating new knowledge, particularly in the areas of new technologies, through a second language. The project will bring together programs and courses developed within the ITU and its partners, as well as the Spanish and Portuguese speaking global community, that are available for sharing, in the areas of telecommunication policy, regulation, management and new technologies and services with the final aim to setting up a sound and self-sustainable capacity building environment in the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in Africa. |
