Regional Development Forums (RDFs)
Key Insights
The Regional Development Forums (RDFs) were held in five of the six ITU Regions. The RDF for the CIS Region will be held in 2024.
The Forums enabled the exchange of views among ITU Member States and Sector Members, including telecommunication/ICT policymakers, regulators, industry, academia, as well as regional and international development agencies, representatives of the UN system and other regional stakeholders.
The Forums featured Partner2Connect matchmaking roundtables to ensure that the needs and priorities of individual countries and regions are matched with partner pledges as a way of operationalizing the many pledges that have been announced.
