The Regional Development Forum for the Arab States Region (RDF-ARB) took place on 3 February 2025 in Amman, Jordan. It was followed by the Regional Preparatory Meeting for WTDC-25 for Arab States (RPM-ARB) from 4-5 February.
RDF-ARB was organized at the kind invitation of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) of Jordan.
The Regional Development Forum for the Arab States Region provided an opportunity for an exchange of views between ITU and decision-makers of ITU Member States and Sector Members, as well as other stakeholders in the Arab States region.
RDF-ARB reported on the outcomes and implementation of the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-22), held in Kigali, Rwanda, in June 2022, and in particular the progress made in the realization of the Regional Initiatives for Arab States approved by the WTDC-22.
RDF-ARB 2025 was open to all stakeholders willing to strengthen cooperation and partnership among telecommunication/ICT policymakers, regulators, industry, academia, regional and international development agencies, and organizations on specific regional telecommunication and ICT matters.
RDF-ARB was a paperless forum. Documents related to this event, including the agenda, presentations, and practical information with guidance on how to connect to the online platform, were made available through this web page.
