About RPM Americas

The Regional Preparatory Meeting for WTDC for the Americas (RPM-AMS) took place virtually at the kind invitation of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru from 26 to 27 April​2021..

In line with Resolution 31 (Rev. Hyderabad, 2010), the Regional Preparatory Meetings (RPMs) aim at engaging the membership in the preparations of the World Telecommunication Developm​​​ent Conference (WTDC) in order to achieve regional coordination before the conference itself. They also seek to identify issues at the regional level that need to be addressed to foster the development of telecommunications and ICTs, taking into account the most pressing needs faced by the Member States and Sector Members of the region.

Outcomes of RPMs will be consolidated at the inter-regional coordination meeting and discussed at TDAG 2021. The outcomes of TDAG will be submitted to WTDC as draft documents for consideration. ​
