Driven by the ITU’s Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT), the BDT4Impact vision harnesses digital development to transform people’s lives by meeting the needs of the people it supports—from communities overcoming challenges to individuals chasing their dreams.

BDT works to advance affordable connectivity, accelerate digital transformation, ensure an enabling policy and regulatory environment, build inclusive and secure ICT environments, and foster international cooperation for sustainable development.

This is evident through voices of the BDT4Impact Advocates, individuals from diverse regions whose work amplifies the benefits of ITU’s digital development efforts. These individual stories underscore how BDT4Impact goes beyond technical expertise: it supports people as they adapt, innovate, and thrive in a rapidly digitizing world.
