The development objective of the Pacific Regional Information Communication Technologies (ICT) Regulatory Development Project for Pacific Islands is to strengthen the capacity of ICT regulatory institutions in the participating countries, and enhance regional collaboration and knowledge sharing on ICT regulatory issues. The project comprises of three components. The first component, regional ICT capacity building and knowledge management will focus on enhancing knowledge sharing and cooperation among regulators, taking account of different levels of institutional maturity. It will support region-wide dissemination of knowledge products on priority ICT topics, regulatory best practices, improve access to quality sector data, and provide a central mechanism (interactive portal and website) for sharing up to date knowledge and experience throughout the region. The second component, regional advisory services will finance quick-response advice delivered in the form of consultancies or specialized training to regulators on legal, economic, financial, and technical issues in the ICT sector that have regional significance or offer a regional learning experience for the immediate benefit of two or more regulators. The third component, project administration will finance reasonable project administration, including financial management and procurement support, audit, and operating costs, attributable to the project.
