            World conferences are convened periodically to review and revise the 
            international telecommunications regulations that apply to 
            administrations and network operators. The conferences establish 
            the general principles for the provision and operation of 
            international telecommunications services offered to the public as 
            well as the underlying means used to provide those services. 
            What we do 
            Through this programme, ATU coordinates Africa’s contribution to 
            the work of these conferences with the aim of ensuring Africa gets 
            an equitable share of globally allocated resources.  We also follow 
            up to ensure that any proposals adopted as a result of these 
            initiatives are implemented.
