The ITU Regional Development Forums (RDFs) provide an opportunity for high-level dialogue between the Telecommunication Development Bureau, Member States and ITU-D Sector Members , primarily on the implementation of the Regional Initiatives, and the Kigali Action Plan as adopted by the 2022 World Telecommunication Development Conference (
WTDC-22).
RDFs promote multi-stakeholder partnerships among Member States, industry, academia, civil society, the UN system as well as regional and international development agencies and organizations, on specific regional telecommunication and ICT matters.
Plans are underway to host the RDFs in each of the six regions of ITU. Follow us on this page for updates on the set dates of the 2023 RDFs.
