Sustainable Digital Communications


SEI-ODS External Module

Description

From 2023, the aim was to promote further Anatel's adherence to the SDGs and related goals since this is an issue with global repercussions, serving as a model for other bodies and entities of the Federal Public Administration. To this end, the entire governing body of the Agency was urged, highlighting the importance of more emphatically explaining the points of contact of the statements of the decision-making bodies with the SDGs, as well as the respective goals and indicators promoted by the UN.
Likewise, it was determined that this action would be expanded to promote furtherhnical areas so that the SDGs would be explained in their respective tasks, activities, work processes, administrative processes, projects, whether strategic or not, and matters to be forwarded to the Board of Directors.
These actions resulted in the development of an internal module in the Electronic Information System (SEI), where the Agency's employees can classify the processes they work on according to each goal and Objective of the 2030 Agenda. The purpose is to implement an institutional culture where everyone at Anatel is imbued with the same purpose: to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs of the UN's 2030 Agenda.
Once the internal phase has been completed, the action turns to Anatel's external audience—the regulated sector and the citizens who interact with the Agency. This led to the development and implementation of the Sustainable Digital Communications project.

Replicability

Given its replicability, the SDG Module is expected to be used as a regulatory instrument for the effective use by society of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. Likewise, decision-makers use it as an instrument to evaluate certain conduct or the assessment of a regulatory issue from the point of view of current legislation, verifying whether the decision to be taken promotes or represents an obstacle to the implementation of the SDGs in the country.


WSIS values promotion

The practice of specific conduct or the assessment of a regulatory topic should be based not only on the point of view of current legislation but, above all, on whether it promotes or hinders the implementation of the SDGs in the country.
