ACTIVITÉS PRINCIPALES DANS LE DOMAINE DU COMMERCE ÉLECTRONIQUE ET DE L'ÉCONOMIE NUMÉRIQUE

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency for telecommunications and information and communication technologies (ICTs). 

ITU is committed to improving people's lives and making the world a better place through the use of telecommunications/ICTs. The Organization is made up of a membership of 193 Member States and more than 1000 companies, universities and international and regional organizations. 

ITU has three main areas of activity organized in three Sectors:  

  • the Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R); 
  • the Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T); and 
  • the Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D). 

ITU-R plays a vital role in the global management of the radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbit resources, with the mission to ensure their rational, equitable, efficient and economical use by all radiocommunication services. 

ITU-T provides a unique forum for industry and government to work together to foster the development and use of interoperable, non-discriminatory and demand-driven international standards (known as ITU-T Recommendations). 

ITU-D fosters international cooperation and solidarity in the delivery of technical assistance and in the creation, development and improvement of telecommunication/ICT equipment and networks in developing countries.
