The focus of this priority is on mobilizing and attracting resources for developing countries in responding to their respective needs with localised solutions and fostering international cooperation on telecommunication/ICT development issues. In this process, the varying and
specific needs of developing countries, as well as underserved areas , should be prioritized and given due attention.

Additionally, funding requirements do not always account for the specific economic realities and development priorities of these countries, limiting their ability to participate in/undertake critical digital development projects. Additionally, challenges such as limited access to technical expertise, insufficient local data for project assessments, and heavy reliance on external parties further complicate efforts to qualify for funding.
