The 2025 ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-25) was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 17 to 28 November 2025. As a landmark event for the ITU, WTDC-25 delivered several significant outcomes, including the adoption of the Baku Action Plan (BAP) and the Baku Declaration. The conference undertook a comprehensive review of its Resolutions, resulting in amendments to 44 existing Resolutions and the adoption of 4 new ones.
The Report of the Budget Control Committee of WTDC-25 (COM2), identified the decisions of the conference -including additional areas of work-, technical studies, and workshops, that will require additional financial resources to be implemented, estimating the amount of CHF 4.2 million over the four-year period to address the costs linked with the new activities.
This document presents a way forward to address the new mandate of WTDC-25 through the implementation of ITU-D projects specifically designed to cover the activities requested in the new and revised WTDC Resolutions. This approach of mainstreaming WTDC Resolutions through projects will strengthen results-based management and avoid the need to allocate any additional budget to address the financial implications of WTDC-25, providing that there are funds available for BDT to engage in resource mobilization and funding partners willing to support ITU's work. The document builds on the experience in implementing the outcomes of previous Conferences.
