ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT


The Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) is responsible for the organization and coordination of the work of the Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) of the Union which deals mainly with ICT-focused development policies, strategies and programmes, as well as technical cooperation activities, to promote digital inclusion and drive digital transformation at community, country and regional levels.

To effectively and efficiently serve the needs of ITU members,
BDT is organized into four functional areas:

  • Office of the Deputy to the Director and Field Operations Coordination Department
  • Partnerships for Digital Development Department
  • Digital Networks & Society Department
  • Digital Knowledge Hub Department


The Digital Knowledge Hub Department is responsible for providing best practices and information to support the public policy decisions of ITU Member States.

This department provides a platform for the members, as well as for external entities such as researchers, the private sector and other development agencies, to obtain critical information on digital trends, information society developments and digital skills.

In addition to consolidating ITU's position as the recognized global source for regulatory information and ICT data, this department is responsible for the work of ITU-D Study Groups.

Finally, this department provides capacity and digital skills building programmes.

Long Description:


The position is within the ICT Data and Analytics Division (IDA), within the Digital Knowledge Hub Department (DKH) of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT).

As part of the implementation of the UN Secretary-General's Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, the International Telecommunication Union, the Office of the UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology, and their partners, have established a set of aspirational targets for 2030 to help prioritize interventions, monitor progress, evaluate policy effectiveness, and galvanize efforts around achieving universal and meaningful connectivity (UMC) by the end of the decade.

Building on this initial effort, IDA is responsible for the implementation of a three-year Project "Promoting and measuring universal and meaningful digital connectivity" funded by the European Union.

The project aims to promote the concept of UMC and change the narrative around connectivity, from 'connecting the unconnected' to 'connecting everyone meaningfully'.

It will seek to mainstream UMC and encourage countries to adapt their strategy from a narrow focus on infrastructure to a holistic approach that also includes the other enablers of meaningful connectivity:
affordability, skills, security, devices, etc. The Project will strengthen the capacity of countries to collect UMC statistics, encourage their adoption and strengthen their dissemination. It will explore new sources of data, including big data to better measure UMC. The Project will monitor progress towards the UMC targets and formulate policy recommendations to accelerate progress.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:


Under the supervision of the Senior Project Manager and as a member of this project's core team, the Project Assistant will provide administrative support, in relation to the production of publications, recruiting of staff, procurement processes, and organisation of and participation in events.
