The Industry’s enabling role has become very visible in multiple dimensions of the society’s progress toward digital development and digital inclusion; an imperative that has now been extensively defined by regional governments through their ICT visions. The digital ecosystem is complex and, with the fourth industrial revolution in play, it is constantly evolving at a fast pace. Creating the right enabling environment through setting policies and regulatory agendas that can benefit all stakeholders in a sustainable manner, is a major challenge and requires an acute understanding of different stakeholders’ needs, motivations, objectives, and a compassionate approach to the sustainability of the digital ecosystem, as a whole. Read More To serve as a unified voice for Telecom Operators and a platform for Indusry Decision-Makers to help bring about a consensus-driven policy and required regulatory change for enabling digital transformation in the SA-ME-NA region. To continually act a sector-development partner to regional Governments, Regulators, and the Industry for the joint creation of a flourishing and sustainable ICT environment, in order to aid sustainable growth, incentivize investments, and broaden value-creation via the adoption of new collaboration-driven approaches in the areas of Digital Services, Data Regulation, Spectrum Management, and Industry Fees & Taxation, among others.
