Focus themes
The Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation’s Strategic Plan for 2012/13 – 2015/16 identifies six focus themes on which it will concentrate its contribution to the use of ICTs for development across the Commonwealth during the plan period. Further information about each theme is available through the links below:
Youth and ICTs
Helping young people have a voice through innovative use of ICTs – a key theme for the Commonwealth
Regulation
Regulatory environments play a crucial role in helping to ensure that markets operate as effectively as possible
Skills development
ICTs can transform education and help play a critical role in skills development and entrepreneurship
ICTs and disability
People with greater disabilities have much more to gain from ICTs than those with fewer disabilities
Cybersecurity
No data are completely secure; how can governments and citizens most effectively manage this?
Mobile broadband
Creating the infrastructure so that broadband connectivity can be anywhere throughout the Commonwealth.
What we do
The CTO supports its members in delivering effective ICTs through its three operational divisions: research and consultancy; training and capacity development; and events and conferences. Our work currently focuses on six key areas: regulatory environments, mobile broadband, cybersecurity, youth and ICTs, skills development and entrepreneurship, and ICTs and disability.
Thank you CTO. This course has truly opened the door to the talent here at Telikom PNG. We are extremely proud of having run a successful Diploma in Telecommunications Management programme in PNG and look forward to hosting more development programmes in partnership with CTO in the near future.
