LocationsSupporting National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority - Phase II
Background
UNDP has been supporting the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) since 2008 to improve universal access to telecommunication services. In partnership with NTRA and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), the project aims to build the formulation of regulatory strategies that promote and seek to ensure equal access to various ICT based services, which in turn has spillover effects in strengthening equal and equitable access to telecommunication services for the Egyptian society.
This project serves as a mechanism to foster and improve the Egyptian telecom sector and to strengthen the correlation between the market cornerstones and bridge the existing bridge divide.
Objectives
The project aims to enhance the regulatory environment of the telecommunication sector and to ensure high quality internet, broadband and mobile services for all Egyptians through delivering the following:
1. Policies, strategies and mechanisms related to the growth and sustainability of Telecom sector developed;
2. Capacity of NTRA in quality service delivery improved;
3. Enhancing network security infrastructure;
4. NTRA’s South-South, regional and international cooperation strengthened.
In addition, the project aims to develop organizational and institutional capacity of NTRA and support the Regulatory Authority Enforcement Programme.
