ICT infrastructure investment and resource mobilization issues.
Regulatory issues.
NEPAD issues.
Human Resource and Capacity building issues.
Towards this end, key presentations and papers
will be made in each area by leading private and public sector
organizations at the workshop. These topics will be relevant to the
development requirements and priorities of the countries of every
region. Panels of discussants made up of country representatives
will arrive at contributions and resolutions to be presented to the
African Regional Preparatory Meeting (ARPM) for inclusion in the
agenda for the World Telecommunications Development Conference in
Doha, Qatar in 2006.
The expanded PPPF Workshop will attract
delegates from the private and public sectors of the 52 member
African Telecommunications Union (ATU), and will also include banks
and other financial institutions, telecommunications operators,
consultancy companies, regulatory administrations etc.
This workshop is expected to achieve greater
regional coordination to facilitate a coordinated approach and to
engage members in the WTDC process as early as possible.
