Description
This course has been developed by ITU to provide an introduction to the Tampere Convention on the Provision of Telecommunications Resources for Disaster Mitigation and Relief Operations (referred to as the Tampere Convention throughout this course), its structure and institutions, and the process of its implementation.
This self-paced module is aimed at Member States’ public and private telecommunication sector, foreign ministers, disaster management authorities and designated officials.
