Boosting the participation of women in the telecommunication development sector is a top priority for ITU, particularly in the areas of policy and regulation. The project “Building a network of women leaders”, sponsored by Saudi Arabia, empowers women by providing platforms that enhance their skills and support their equal participation in decision-making processes within the telecommunication development sector. This initiative is essential for building women’s capacity and ensuring they have the opportunities to lead and influence the future of telecommunications.
