Context
The Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) works to close the digital divide and drive digital transformation to leverage the power of ICTs for economic prosperity, job creation, digital skills development, gender equality, diversity, a sustainable and circular economy, and for saving lives. Its work prioritizes those most in need- from people living in the world’s Least Developed Countries to marginalized communities everywhere. The work of the Telecommunication Development Sector is supported by its Secretariat, the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT).
Within BDT, the ITU Area Office for South Asia and Innovation Centre has become a significant driver for advancing shared priorities related to digital transformation, innovation ecosystems, and regional collaboration. The Innovation Centre specifically serves as a global technology acceleration centre, harnessing the transformative power of digital innovation and leveraging India’s vibrant innovation ecosystem to help bridge the digital divide. The ITU Area Office for South Asia and Innovation Centre is actively advancing capacities in digital government, digital public infrastructure, innovation and broader digital transformation agendas by supporting Member States in developing enabling policies, regulatory frameworks, and whole-of government approaches that foster inclusive, secure, and resilient digital ecosystems. The UN Associate Volunteer will support innovation engagement in Telecommunication and ICTs in South Asia.
