Africa’s digital transformation and socio-economic development are highly dependent on the security\, resilience\, and expansion of these systems. However\, submarine cables face multiple risks including physical damage\, cyber threats\, inadequate redundancy\, and governance challenges. \nTo address these issues\, the African Telecommunications Union (ATU)\, in partnership with the Africa Subsea Ecosystem Forum (ASEF) is organizing an online Capacity Building Workshop on Submarine Cable Resilience. The workshop will enhance the technical\, policy\, and regulatory knowledge of African stakeholders to safeguard this critical infrastructure. \n\n\n\n\n\nObjectives:\n\n\n\nThe main objectives of the workshop are to: \n Build capacity of African member states\, regulators\, operators\, and industry players on submarine cable resilience and security.\n Share best practices on planning\, deployment\, protection\, and maintenance of submarine cable systems.\n Strengthen multi-stakeholder collaboration in protecting critical subsea infrastructure.\n Align discussions with ITU priorities related to submarine cables\, resilience\, and digital infrastructure. \n \n\n\n\nExpected Outcomes\n\n\n\n Enhanced knowledge and technical expertise on submarine cable resilience.\n Strengthened policy and regulatory frameworks for subsea infrastructure protection in Africa.\n Improved collaboration and coordination among stakeholders at continental and global levels.\n Concrete standards and policies related to submarine cable systems.\n\n\n\nParticipants:\n\n\n\nThe workshop meeting will bring together: \n ATU Member States\, Associate Members and Regulators\n Submarine Cable Operators and Industry Players\n Regional Economic Communities (RECs)\n International Partners and Standards Bodies (e.g. ITU\, ICPC\, ISOC)\n Academia and Research Institutions\n Civil Society Organizations \n \n\n\n\nFormat and Duration: 2hrs:\n\n\n\n Format: online capacity building workshop with expert presentations\, case studies\, recommendations and call for action \n \n\n\n\nVenue and Date:\n\n\n\n 10th December 2025; Virtual \n \n\n\n\nPartners:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion:\n\n\n\nThe ATU–ASEF workshop will provide a timely platform to strengthen Africa’s resilience in submarine cable systems and ensure the continent’s coordinated engagement. By combining technical knowledge building with policy preparation\, the initiative supports Africa’s long-term digital transformation and connectivity agenda. \n \n\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text]\n			\n			\n				[vc_column_text]\n\n. \n\n\n\n\nContexte:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLes systèmes de câbles sous-marins constituent l’épine dorsale de la connectivité mondiale\, acheminant plus de 95 % des communications internationales et du trafic Internet. La transformation numérique et le développement socio-économique de l’Afrique dépendent fortement de la sécurité\, de la résilience et de l’expansion de ces systèmes. Cependant\, les câbles sous-marins sont exposés à de multiples risques\, notamment des dommages physiques\, des cybermenaces\, une redondance insuffisante et des défis en matière de gouvernance. \nPour aborder ces questions\, l’Union Africaine des Télécommunications (UAT)\, en partenariat avec le Forum Africain sur l’Ecosystème Sous-Marin (Africa Subsea Ecosystem Forum – ASEF)\, organise un atelier en ligne sur le renforcement des capacités en matière de résilience des câbles sous-marins. Cet atelier permettra d’améliorer les connaissances techniques\, politiques et réglementaires des parties prenantes africaines afin de protéger cette infrastructure essentielle. \n\n\n\n\n\nObjectifs:\n\n\n\nLes principaux objectifs de l’atelier sont les suivants :\n Renforcer les capacités des États Membres Africains\, des régulateurs\, des opérateurs et des acteurs du secteur en matière de résilience et de sécurité des câbles sous-marins.\n Partager les meilleures pratiques en matière de planification\, de déploiement\, de protection et de maintenance des systèmes de câbles sous-marins.\n Renforcer la collaboration entre les différentes parties prenantes pour protéger les infrastructures sous-marines critiques.\n Aligner les discussions sur les priorités de l’UIT en matière de câbles sous-marins\, de résilience et d’infrastructures numériques.\n\n\n\nRésultats attendus:\n\n\n\n Amélioration des connaissances et de l’expertise technique en matière de résilience des câbles sous-marins.\n Renforcement des cadres politiques et réglementaires pour la protection des infrastructures sous-marines en Afrique.\n Amélioration de la collaboration et de la coordination entre les parties prenantes aux niveaux continental et mondial.\n Normes et politiques concrètes relatives aux systèmes de câbles sous-marins.\n\n\n\nParticipants:\n\n\n\nL’atelier réunira :\n Les États Membres et les Membres Associés de l’UAT\n Les opérateurs de câbles sous-marins et les acteurs du secteur\n Les Communautés Economiques Régionales (CER)\n Les partenaires internationaux et les organismes de normalisation (Ex : l’UIT\, l’ICPC\, l’ISOC)\n Les universités et les instituts de recherche\n Les organisations de la société civile\n\n\n\nFormat et durée : 2 heures\n\n\n\nFormat : atelier de renforcement des capacités en ligne avec présentations d’experts\, études de cas\, recommandations et appel à l’action \n \n\n\n\nLieu et date : \n\n\n\n10 Décembre 2025\, En ligne \n \n\n\n\nPartenaires:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion:\n\n\n\nL’atelier ATU-ASEF offrira une plateforme opportune pour renforcer la résilience de l’Afrique en matière de systèmes de câbles sous-marins et garantir l’engagement coordonné du continent. En combinant le renforcement des connaissances techniques et la préparation des politiques\, cette initiative soutient le programme à long terme de l’Afrique en matière de transformation numérique et de connectivité.\n\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text]\n			\n			\n				[vc_column_text]\n\n\n\n\nSession Block\nActivity\nTitle / Focus\nLead Person(s)\nTitle / Organisation / Role\n\n\n \n\nOpening Session\nWelcome remarks\nIntroductory\nMr. Egomaron Jegede\nSnr.
