OVERVIEW

The main objective of the Project is to set-up a regional ITU IPv6 and IoT Expertise Centre for the Arab region (in accordance with the relevant KPIs below) for enabling universal, sustainable, ubiquitous and affordable access to ICTs and services for all. Through the creation of this centre the project further aims to achieve the following objectives:
  1. Contribute to IPv6 and IoT deployment – countries readiness assessment;
  2. Accelerate human capacity building and digital skills to better facilitate IPv4-IPv6 transition and IoT related applications development and deployments;
  3. Establish IPv6 Taskforces to facilitate in drafting national plans on IPv6 deployment;
  4. The center will serve as regional center to support the development and deployment of IPv6 and IoT infrastructure in the Arab region;
  5. Attract the IPv6 implementers and IoT applications developers; 
  6. Development of IPv6 and IoT strategic plans and regulatory frameworks for selected countries in the Arab Region.​​

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

ITU and TRPA-Sudan are therefore inviting stakeholders and partners across the Arab region to join their efforts and support the activities of the Centre including organizing joint training workshops, hackathons and provide direct assistance to countries in the region especially Least Developing Countries (LDCs) or countries in special needs. In addition, partners are encouraged to share their best practices and experiences and shed light on their key activities in the domain of IPv6 and IoT, whether at the national or regional level. Stakeholders are free to design the nature, scope of activities and associate them to the Center overall objectives and activities. Activities could include but not limited to:
- Examples of IPv6 transition strategies
- National IPv6 Deployment Cases
- Examples of industry applications of IPv6 and IoT 
- IPv6 and IoT labs and tools
- Experiences in organizing Challenges 
These activities will be featured in this regional platform for IPv6 and IoT related topics and matters.
