of WTSA-24 Outcomes and Implications for Africa DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Invitation to a meeting on the Review of WTSA-24 Outcomes and Implications for Africa.” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:16px|text_align:center|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator color=”black” style=”shadow” el_width=”60″]REGISTER HERE[vc_separator color=”black” style=”shadow” el_width=”60″][vc_column_text]\nYou are kindly invited to an online meeting on Wednesday\, March 12\, 2025\, from 13:00 to 16:00 Nairobi time to review the outcomes of the World Telecommunications Standardization Assembly-24 (WTSA-24) and their implications for Africa\, as well as outline priorities for this study circle. \nWTSA-24\, hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\, has reaffirmed the critical importance of telecommunication standards as the foundation upon which global connectivity and digital transformation are built. These standards\, while technical\, shape the trajectory of economies\, societies\, and the way we interact with the world. They have a profound impact on how we close the digital divide\, how we adopt innovation\, and how we ensure that the benefits of digital technology are equitably distributed. \nThe Assembly covered a broad range of pressing issues\, and as we reflect on the resolutions and outcomes\, one thing becomes clear: the future of ICT standards must be inclusive\, resilient\, and forward-looking\, with particular attention paid to the needs of underserved regions\, including Africa. \nOne of the most significant takeaways from WTSA-24 was the renewed global commitment to bridging the digital divide. It became evident that access to universal broadband is no longer a luxury but a necessity\, a fact that is especially relevant to our continent. For Africa\, the emphasis on extending 5G\, fiber optics\, and other emerging network technologies to underserved communities is timely. These technologies promise to unlock vast economic and social opportunities\, and they align directly with our vision for a digitally inclusive Africa. \nThe Secretariat\, on its part\, prepared the membership adequately prior to and during WTSA-24. In view of the said outcomes of WTSA-24 and the need to set out our priorities for this period’s study circle\, we deem it important to gather and discuss these issues. The meeting will be conducted in both English and French with simultaneous interpretation. It will bring together the Telecommunications Standardization Bureau of the ITU\, policymakers\, regulators\, experts in Telecommunications/ICTs standardization work\, technologists\, industry leaders\, academia\, and civil society groups to discuss and explore the Africa strategies and priorities for standardization development and preparations for the next WTSA-28.

Delegates are encouraged to make bookings at any of the listed hotels directly and avail their booking information. \n3. ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (ETA)\nAll travelers to Kenya must be in possession of a valid passport issued and recognized by their governments. \nTo boost tourism and attract more foreign investments to Kenya\, the Government removed all visa requirements for all foreign nationals visiting and transiting through Kenya from January 2024. The vacated visa requirements have been replaced by the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system. \nThe ETA is exclusively issued electronically\, with passengers required to obtain them before departure on the ETA platform (https://www.etakenya.go.ke). \nThe ETA is applicable to all foreign nationals\, except for East African Community (EAC) citizens. \nNB. All ETA Fees are Payable in US Dollars ONLY (for all nationalities). \nEnquiries can also be addressed to a Kenyan Embassy or Consulate in the countries of residence. \n4. AIR TRAVEL\nThe Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is the main airport in Nairobi. It is the largest and busiest airport in East and Central Africa. It serves as a transit hub for major airlines as well as the gateway for visitors to Africa’s treasured game parks\, cultural heritage\, scenic landscapes and business opportunities. The airport also serves as a major cargo centre for both inbound and outbound goods. \nJKIA is situated in Nairobi\, 20 minutes from the Central Business District. Its connectivity to the rest of the world is also enhanced by the presence of the world’s popular airlines. \n5. TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT\nParticipants are responsible for making their travel arrangements. All travel information\, including flight number\, arrival and departure dates and times should be forwarded to the organizing committee whose contact is provided on the registration form provided.

CURRENCY\, BANKS AND CREDIT CARDS\nThe unit of currency is the Kenya Shilling (Ksh)\, divided into 100 cents.

HEALTH INFORMATION FOR TRAVELERS TO KENYA\nBefore visiting Kenya\, you may need requisite vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk of at your destination. Note that your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need\, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history\, areas of the country you will be visiting\, and planned activities. \nTo have the most benefit\, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect and to start taking medicine to prevent malaria\, if you need it. Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave\, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines\, anti-malaria drugs and other medications and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling. \nVISITORS ARE ADVISED TO HAVE YELLOW FEVER VACCINATION. \nHOST COUNTRY CONTACTS\nMs. Stella Kipsaita\nDeputy Director/ Corporate Communications\nCommunications Authority of Kenya\nP.O.

Africa’s digital transformation and socio-economic development are highly dependent on the security\, resilience\, and expansion of these systems.
