Abstract :

The Plenipotentiary Conference (Bucharest, 2022) instructed the Secretary-General in Decision 5 (Rev. Bucharest, 2022) to develop an ITU-wide resource mobilization strategy and to present it to the ITU Council. Council-25 approved the strategy, so implementation is now underway. This document focuses on securing Member State unit contributions as they account for about 70% of ITU's regular budget and therefore are the top priority of the strategy.
As recommended in the resource mobilization strategy, the secretariat is preparing an "ITU investment case" that delegates can use within their national administrations to help secure or increase units. As well, efforts are underway to improve reporting to Member States, including better alignment of strategic, financial and operational plans and reporting on efficiency and savings to more clearly demonstrate return on investment for Member States.
