JOB DESCRIPTION

Mission and objectives

ITU is the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs), committed to connecting all the world’s people – wherever they live and whatever their means. Through our work, we protect and support everyone’s fundamental right to communicate. Founded on principles of international cooperation between governments and the private sector, ITU has a membership of 193 countries and almost 800 private entities and academic institutions. We are the premier global forum through which parties work towards consensus on issues affecting the way we use ICTs and the future direction of the ICT sector. By fostering agreement on new technology standards, services, and allocation of global resources, ITU helps create and maintain a seamless global communications system that’s robust, reliable, and constantly evolving. ITU is committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We believe ICTs are the most powerful tool the world has ever had to bring about this bold vision of human development, based on economic prosperity, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The potential of ICTs to accelerate, scale up, and reduce costs of interventions is unprecedented, in areas ranging from education, healthcare, and financial services to climate change and gender equality. Our volunteers are important in our efforts to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals. For more information about ITU´s areas of action visit http://www.itu.int/en/action/Pages/default.aspx
