Regional Development Forums provide
an opportunity for high-level dialogue between the Telecommunication
Development Bureau (BDT) and decision-makers of ITU Member States and Sector
Members. They serve as a platform for assessing strategic orientations that may
have an impact on BDT’s regional work plan in between world telecommunication development
conferences (WTDCs). In this context, these forums will report on the
activities of the Dubai Action Plan, with particular emphasis on regional
initiatives in order to get feedback from membership to adjust BDT’s work in
each region of the world.
The
Regional Development Forum for the Americas will discuss in detail the five
regional initiatives approved by WTDC-14, providing members with an opportunity
to exchange experiences and best practices in the implementation of these
initiatives in the framework of the ITU Strategic Plan for 2016-2019. The draft
agenda of the Forum is attached
