From 22 to 24 October 2025, the ITU Regional Office for the Arab States, in collaboration with national authorities, organised the National Multi-Stakeholder Workshop on Validation of the National Emergency Telecommunications Plan (NETP) and Training on Cell Broadcast Early Warning Systems (EWS) and the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), in Nouakchott, Mauritania.
The workshop brought together representatives from government ministries, regulators, and emergency response agencies to refine and validate the NETP implementation plan and enhance national capacity in EWS and CAP deployment. The training strengthened inter-agency coordination and technical readiness, reinforced Mauritania’s efforts to operationalize its NETP, enhanced the effectiveness of its national alerting mechanisms, and contributed to building a more resilient and digitally prepared emergency communication ecosystem in Mauritania.
