Abstract :

Resolution 11 (Rev. Dubai, 2018) of the Plenipotentiary Conference instructs the Secretary-General, via resolves 3, to "hire an independent external management consultancy to perform a comprehensive strategic and financial assessment and review of ITU Telecom events, considering contributions from the ITU membership, and submit a report with recommendations and various strategies at the 2020 session of the Council for action".
In his project, Dalberg has conducted an independent, transparent and fact-based review and assessment of the status of ITU Telecom events and the current business model, including an assessment of financial sustainability, and suggests alternatives for the way forward. The envisioned impact is to better position ITU in the crowded and competitive space of telecom events with a view to maximize impact, value addition, and sustainability; and enhance the impact of telecom tech and innovations across sectors and geographies.
