ITU is the oldest UN specialized agency • Founded in 1865 (147 years old) • Committed to connecting the World • ITU-HQ is in Geneva, Switzerland • 193 Member States and 700 Sector Members and Associates. • Over 750 employees, from more than 80 nationalities. • Organized in three Sectors: • Radiocommunication (ITU-R) • Standardization (ITU-T) • Development (ITU-D)

  4. Telecommunications Development Bureau • Neutral broker for multi-stakeholder partnerships, resource mobilization • Executing arm for project implementation • Building capacity among members: technical assistance, advice and guide on policy-regulatory frameworks • Statistics and policy/regulatory trends • Telecommunications Technology and Network Development • ICT Applications (e-Applications) • Cybersecurity and Child Online Protection • Climate Change and e-Waste Management • Emergency Telecommunications

  5. Emergency Telecommunications Division • Provide technical assistance to member states through different phases of disaster management (providing satellite telecommunications equipment and technical support on site) • Assist Member States on project design and implementations such as: Early Warning Systems, Remote Sensing, etc. • Conduct Capacity Building Workshops • Assist Member States on development of Emergency Telecommunications Plans and Review the existing

  6. Challenges • Lack of Awareness • Institutional and Human Capacity Building • Policy Development and Implementation • Defining who is the Authority (Leading Organization) • Information Sharing, Collaboration and Cooperation • Unclear Definition of Jurisdiction and Responsibility • Governance and Funding

  7. Current Practices When implementing a CAP these are some of the practices: • Setting policies to adopt CAP within a country • Establishing a Registry of Alerting Authorities • National CAP Profile Development • Capacity Building on CAP and Alerting Procedures • Ensure CAP Implementation for Interoperability

  8. An Implementation Roadmap A proposed roadmap to be considered as a model • Drafting and Passing Legislation/Policy • Establish an Organizational Entity – Registry Authority • Adopt Technical Standards and Solutions, Implement Sound Processes and Standard Operating Procedures • Design and Implement Human and Institutional Capacity Building Programme • Nurture International Cooperation and Information Sharing

  9. Why an Implementation Roadmap? • Streamlines implementation processes • Provides clarity and structured approach • Builds a strong foundation for implementation of CAP • Promotes collaboration on national, regional and international levels • Strengthens political support for implementation

  10. Benefits • Implementation of CAP Standard to Ensure Interoperability • Affirms the Scope and Jurisdiction through Legislation and Implemented Processes • Establishes foundation for Governance • Provides a platform for Collaboration and Cooperation • Presents New Funding Opportunities
