IntroductionThe 2014 International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-14), held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 30 March to 10 April 2014, adopted the Dubai Action Plan (DuAP), which defined the mandate for the activities of the ITU Development Sector (ITU-D) during the 2015-2018 period. The Dubai Action Plan contains a comprehensive package aimed at promoting the equitable, affordable, inclusive, and sustainable development of telecommunication/information and telecommunications technology (ICT) networks, applications and services. DuAP consists of a set of five strategic objectives supported by 15 outputs in line with the Results Based Management approach. The Dubai Action Plan implementation framework encompasses programmes, regional initiatives, study group Questions, resolutions and recommendations, and facilitation of the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) action lines (http://www.itu.int/net/wsis/). The DuAP structure follows the structure of the ITU strategic plan, so as to ensure a consistent planning hierarchy and linkage across the different planning tools and instruments within ITU (strategic, financial and operational planning). The results-based management (RBM) system was implemented in the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) starting from2011, consistent with the United Nations-wide reform to move away from activity-based to results-based strategic planning and management (Resolution 151, Rev. Busan, 2014). The adoption of RBM by BDT is aimed at improving accountability and transparency, and identifying measures to further enhance long-term delivery and results of the activities of ITU. In keeping with results-based management principles, this report provides an overview of the main outcomes of BDT activities since the beginning of DuAP implementation during the three years 2015 to 2017 and emphasizes the link between expected results and achievements. The report also details the implementation of the Regional Initiatives (Appendix 1) and the financial implementation by region (Annex 1). Although the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the related 169 targets (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300) after the adoption of the Dubai Action Plan, the BDT started mainstreaming the SDGs into its work from the last quarter of 2015.
Objective 1Foster international cooperation on telecommunication/ICT development issuesThe purpose of Objective 1 is to develop, agree and review the work plan for the four-year development cycle through the preparation and approval of the action plan and draft strategic plan by the World Telecommunication Development Conferences, the preparatory process undertaken through the Regional Preparatory Meetings and the advisory role of the Telecommunication Development Advisory Group. It guides the implementation of the work programmes for the Study Groups and Questions concerned to ensure that they are executed in accordance with the WTDC decisions. Objective 1 also aims to enhance the knowledge-sharing, consensus-building and dialogue among Member States, ITU-D Sector Members, Associates and Academia, on emerging telecommunication/ICT issues for sustainable development. World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC)Every four years, the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) serves as a forum for discussion among ITU Member States Administrations and ITU-D Sector Members. WTDC sets the priority areas and the guidelines for the following four-year cycle. In addition, it assesses the results achieved and reviews work programmes and projects. The last WTDC was held in March-April 2014. Following the kind invitation of the Government of Argentina and the approval by the Council with the concurrence of a majority of the Member States of ITU, the next Conference will be convened in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 9 to 20 October 2017. The theme of WTDC-17 is “ICT for Sustainable Development Goals” (ICTSDGs). The draft agenda of WTDC-17 was approved by the ITU Council 2016 (in Document C16/56) and obtained the concurrence of a majority of the Member States. The website for WTDC-17 has been developed and launched to support the dissemination of information (including circulars, documents, reports, contributions) to Member States and Sector Members in order to facilitate the promotion of the event. WTDC-17 preparatory process takes duly account of the Results-based Management (RBM) principles in order to ensure linkages between the strategic, financial and operational plans as required by Resolution 72 (Rev. Busan, 2014).
