ITU Regional Presence |
ITU's policy on regional presence is designed
to enable the Union to work as closely as possible with its members and to tailor
ITU activities to meet the ever-increasing and diverse needs of the world's developing
and least developed countries. ITU currently manages a network of eleven field offices.
These include regional offices in Addis Ababa (for Africa), Brasilia (for Americas),
Cairo (for the Arab States), Bangkok (for Asia and Pacific) and Moscow (for Europe and CIS countries) and a number of area
offices in each of these regions.

ITU Regional Offices |
ITU field offices provide support for all Union activities,
helping implement its strategic and policy objectives through direct, sustained
contact with national authorities, regional telecommunication organizations and
other relevant bodies.
They also assist developing and least developed countries
to meet their development goals. In addition to providing technical and logistical
support to development activities, field offices fulfil the basic functions of the
development sector as a specialized and executing agency, resource mobilizer and
information centre.
ITU's regional presence serves also to assist the ITU General
Secretariat, the Radiocommunication Bureau and the Telecommunication Standardization
Bureau in fulfilling their missions by:
- promoting their work, representing them
at regional and national events
- assisting them in organizing events of a regional
character in their respective domain of activities or in joint activities with BDT
- representing ITU's elected officials at regional events
- expressing the visions
and the needs of the countries in the different domains of activities and proposing
actions for responding to their needs.
