African states… African
states would be delighted to see cross-border connectivity, backbone
capacity, universal access and the application of ICT solutions to
varied societal issues, all geared to poverty alleviation and
economic stimulation.
ATU advocates on behalf of member states for equitable share of
globally allocated ICT resources such as frequency spectrums,
internet addresses, satellite orbital slots and mobilisation of
development funds.
Network
operators and service providers…
Telecom operators - fixed and mobile, broadcasters, internet
service providers, ICT manufacturers, and ICT training institutions
desire a responsive policy and legal framework to facilitate
investment opportunities so as to operate profitably.
In addition to promoting initiatives aimed at integrating
regional markets, ATU also provides its associate members with
access to key government policy makers and networking opportunities
with peer organisations.
Development partners…
In recognition of the crucial role that ICT plays in accelerating
social-economic growth, development partners expect solutions
accruing from ICT to contribute towards poverty alleviation and
universal access to information.
ATU provides development partners with a mechanism to rollout
programmes targeting African countries in matters connected with ICT.
Manufacturers and
suppliers…
ICT equipment manufacturers and suppliers expect to have access
to wider markets and a platform for promoting and selling their
products.
Through ATU’s events and publications, manufacturers and
suppliers can reach-out to a continental audience. |
