The course is aimed at providing information on how to develop National Emergency Telecommunications Plans through a multi-stakeholder approach including all phases of disaster management.

This course is based on the 'ITU Guidelines for National Emergency Telecommunication Plans' available on the International Telecommunication Union website and referenced throughout the course. 

This training aims to strengthen the capacity of countries to produce ICT indicators and statistics according to international standards and methodologies. It is intended to assist national statistical offices in collecting and compiling ICT statistics on the access and use to ICTs by households and individuals, by providing guidance on the collection, processing, evaluation and dissemination of ICT household statistics.

A follow-up to the introduction to e-waste policy, this course is a key resource for understanding EPR's foundation and requirements, aimed at assisting in the production of e-waste policy and regulation.

 Across the 6 modules, you will review the fundamentals of e-waste management, learn about the elements and instruments in an EPR based e-waste management system, and additional considerations/best practices in developing an effective and equitable legislative framework.  

Reliable, secure data-hosting solutions are becoming increasingly important to support everyday functions across societies. Although data infrastructure such as data centers and cloud solutions are essential for storing and processing data, they are highly energy intensive and consume refrigerants and often large amounts of water for cooling. As such, they leave a large environmental footprint and contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climate change also affects data centers.

Broadband mapping combined with modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its practical knowledge supports efficient identification of connectivity gaps, network planning to extend access to most critical places, and support to decision making based on evidence-based models. This training offers an introductory path to anyone interested in embarking on the exciting broadband mapping journey. Consisting of 5 modules, from the beginning GIS, data and demonstration of open source practical tools.

The training aims to strengthen the capacity of countries to produce ICT indicators and statistics according to international standards and methodologies. It presents the main groups of telecommunication/ICT indicators collected and the different questionnaires as well as the definition and methodologies of the indicators following the ITU Handbook for the collection of administrative data on telecommunications/ICT. Examples provided address data gaps and challenges faced by countries and suggests possible solutions.

This course aims to raise awareness of what Mobile Phone Data is and to showcase how it can be applied at a National Statistical Organisation (NSO). Information will be shared on how to obtain Mobile Phone Data, plus the opportunities and challenges it presents for incorporating its use at the NSO. The course has been developed by the Task Team on Mobile Phone Data of the UN Committee of Experts on Big Data and Data Science for Official Statistics (UN-CEBD).

This course is based on two ITU products: The Last-Mile Connectivity Internet Solutions Guide and Broadband Connectivity Toolkit. The Last-Mile Connectivity Internet Solutions Guide was developed to support the design and development of programmes and interventions that address the lack of Internet infrastructure availability in certain areas and high Internet service prices that make Internet connectivity unaffordable for local populations.

A practical guide for universal access and service implementation, this toolkit offers analytical tools, examples, and templates to assist policy-makers, regulators, and fund administrators in designing, implementing, and financing digital technology and communication infrastructure programs.
