This Contribution outlines key regional initiatives currently being implemented by Pacific island countries to address the telecommunications/ICT development needs of the region. Many Pacific island countries face an exceptional set of challenges including remoteness, limited resources and skills shortages, susceptibility to natural disasters, and severe impacts of climate change. This overview aims to assist TDAG with tracking the implementation of the Kigali Action Plan 2022 priorities as they relate to the Pacific region and highlights the importance of regional ITU presence as a key enabler to effectively and efficiently deliver on the Development Sector's goals and priorities.
