ANNEX 2

Contribution to other Sectors and the General Secretariat

Regional and area offices contributed to the implementation of ITU strategic plan and ITU-R, ITU-T and the General Secretariat operational plans as follows:

1. ITU-R

With the objective of informing and assisting the ITU membership on radiocommunication-related matters, in particular developing countries, BDT and BR continued to organize spectrum-related workshops, seminars, meetings, and capacity-building activities, with the support of the regional offices and in cooperation with the relevant international organizations and national authorities. During 2018, the following events were organized in that direction, among others:

Three Regional Radio Seminars (RRS) in St. Petersburg, Russia (6-8 June), Thimphu, Bhutan (23-28 July), and San Jose, Costa Rica (24-28 September). These seminars attracted more than 270 participants from 48 countries in the regions.

Two ITU Frequency Coordination Meeting on the use of the VHF band (174-216 MHz) and UHF band (470-806 MHz) in Panama City, Panama (7-11 May) and Belize City, Belize (11-14 September), respectively. These meetings covered around 70 participants from over 20 administrations, completing the cycle of four meetings that took place in the region over the last 18 months, which established the basis for formal frequency coordination inter-government agreements for broadcasting and mobile services in the VHF and UHF bands. The remarkable success of this frequency coordination is reflected by the achieved average percentages of around 96% for UHF band and 94% for VHF band of assignable digital TV channels, i.e. the percentages of the frequency requirements which are compatible with each other and with operating analogue and other primary services’ stations.

ITU WRC-19 Regional Workshop for Region 2 in Havana, Cuba, 21-23 March. This meeting attracted stakeholders of the industry and the regional groups, such as CEPT, CITEL, COMTELCA, CTU, CAATEL in preparation for WRC-19 as well as 96 registered participants from 20 countries (including Cuba, France, Netherlands and the United Kingdom).

6th Latin-American Telecommunication Congress in Varadero, Cuba (11-15 June). ITU Regional Workshop on “Furthering IMT Development: Policy, Spectrum Valuation and

Auctions” in the Arab Region in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (18-19 December). This event was attended by more than 100 participants from 12 Arab countries.

In cooperation with the respective regional offices, ITU/ITSO Capacity Building Workshops on Satellite Communications were organized in Americas, Africa, and Arab regions. These workshops are part of a capacity building partnership between the ITU and ITSO for the delivery of satellite communications related training.

The above events fostered human capacity building on the use of the radio-frequency spectrum and the satellite orbits, as well as the application of the provisions of the ITU Radio Regulations.

In addition, direct assistance was provided (upon demand) to several countries, including Bhutan, Dominican Republic, and El Salvador, to support their national spectrum management activities, long-term frequency management for mobile broadband, as well as transition to digital broadcasting and the allocation of the digital dividend.

2. ITU-T

At the initiative of the TSB Director, conference calls and face-to-face meetings were organized on a regular basis between the regional and areas offices and the TSB senior management, covering

7C19/INF/7-E

each time overviews, updates, and briefings of activities run and organized by each TSB Department in the various regions.

The activities, which were led since beginning of 2016, were conducted having in mind the goal of improving coordination and increasing the efficiency of the overall operations, events and activities in the Standardization Sector. The regular organization and scheduling of such meetings has led over the years to significant improvement in the overall coordination with regional and areas offices in terms of events and activities, as well as enhancing the knowledge of the ITU-T standardization activities in each region.

Regional groups within ITU-T Study Groups are mechanisms that have been set up to assist in bridging the standardization gap among countries. There are currently 23 regional groups, including nine for Africa, four for the Americas, five for the Arab States region, two for Asia and Pacific and three for the Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Transcaucasia (EECAT). These groups met on multiple occasions during 2018.

BSG Hands-On Study Group effectiveness training was extended to other ITU-T Study Groups and their regional groups. The aim of the hands-on sessions is to assist developing countries in acquiring the right skills and capabilities for international standards-making and drafting contributions for meetings. The sessions focused on the development of drafting contributions, presenting proposals, collaborative working methods, and means of gaining support and building consensus.

Two Regional Standardization Forums under the theme of “Economic, Regulatory and Policy Trends in a Fast-Changing Digital World” were held in 2018 in Kigali, Rwanda (5 February 2018) and in X’ian, China (27 August 2018).

Another activity conducted by the Standardization Bureau is the cooperation with national and regional standardization organizations. ITU-T standardization activities have become more and more visible to national and regional standards organizations, thanks to the implementation of ITU-T Objective T.5 of the Strategic Plan of the Union, “Extend and facilitate cooperation with international, regional and national standardization bodies”. ITU-T/TSB has carried out the implementation of the Objective T.5 and its Outcomes by reaching out and sharing information with the national and regional standards organizations, inviting them to participate to Workshops, events and activities, as well as engaging with them, on a bilateral (for national bodies) as well as multilateral (for regional bodies), whenever possible.

Invitations to ITU workshops and follow-up activities were carried out by TSB with the aim of sharing the current ongoing work of ITU-T Study Groups, facilitating the exchange of information on the current work of the Sector, with experts and stakeholders of other national and regional standards organizations.

Regional Standards Organizations have welcomed the contribution from ITU-T/TSB on a regular basis. Organizations like ARSO (for Africa), COPANT (for the Americas), PASC (for Asia and the Pacific), CEN and CENELEC (for Europe) welcomed contributions from ITU-T/TSB to their respective annual events.

3. General Secretariat

With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which acknowledges the important role of ICTs as a critical enabler for advancing the globally agreed sustainable development goals (SDGs), cooperation between ITU regional and area offices with relevant regional and other international organizations dealing with development and financial matters has continued to grow. Levering ITU

8C19/INF/7-E

membership in the UN development system, and as a financial contributor to the UN Resident Coordinator system, to ensure that the enabling ICT dimension is adequately reflected in United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFS) and equivalent documents as well as in poverty reduction strategies will be strengthened.

Council-16 resolved to use the WSIS framework as the foundation through which ITU helps to achieve the 2030 Agenda, within ITU’s mandate and within the allocated resources in the financial plan and biennial budget, noting the WSIS-SDG Matrix developed by UN Agencies. With the aim of strengthening the implementation of the WSIS Outcomes at the regional level, ITU regional and area offices have continued to coordinate and collaborate at the regional level with the UN regional economic commissions and UN Regional Development Group, as well as all UN agencies (in particular those acting as facilitator for WSIS Action Lines) and other relevant regional organizations, especially in the field of telecommunication/ICT, with the aim of aligning WSIS and SDG processes and their implementation as requested by UNGA Resolution 70/125, developing partnerships for implementation of inter-agency and multistakeholder projects, advancing implementation of WSIS Action Lines and advancing achievement of SDGs and strengthening regional input to the WSIS Forum, WSIS Prizes and WSIS Stocktaking.

ANNEX 3

Support activities towards empowering regional and area offices

Electronic tools for planning and monitoring of activities, the operational plan system (OPS), have been improved, facilitating better implementation rate of allocated resources, including those in regional and area offices.

The pilot project for expanding the use of existing internal video conferencing equipment with external users was completed and was rolled out to all ITU, including all regional and area offices at the start of 2019. This new video conferencing service produces excellent results even with sub-optimal network pathways as, although it is hosted at ITU Headquarters, it finds optimum path utilizing peer-to-peer technology. Furthermore, the service is highly configurable and can adapt to various types of meetings, such as small one-to-one video meetings; a medium-sized interactive regional staff meeting; or a large-sized physical meeting with some remote participants. The service is fully integrated with ITU environment, it is easy to setup, and is available on all platforms.

ITU recognizes its Duty of Care for all personnel including external experts. The capacity to communicate effectively when travelling or working in higher risk duty locations is essential. ITU will conduct a pilot evaluation of an innovative technological tool, the ‘Security Communications And Analysis Network’ (SCAAN), in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration which developed the Application, to fulfil this obligation. SCAAN is a digital platform and mobile application network designed to provide more efficient communications and assistance to field staff especially during a crisis. ITU will evaluate the system for eventual permanent use.

A pilot project is currently underway for preparing the IT environment for the use of enterprise cloud services to improve document preparation, access and storage, particularly for the regional and area offices.
