The intent of the NOW4WRC19 initiative is to start building capacity early on in the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) process in order to encourage a larger participation of women as delegates, chairs, vice-chairs, etc., at WRC-19. Its main objectives are:
- Gender balance among delegates
- Prepare women delegates in key roles for WRC-19
- Grow the ITU women’s community capacity and contribution
The
Network of Women for WRC-19 initiative was launched December 2016 during WRS-16. For more details please see HERE.
The Network of Women for WRC-19 initiative will cover main ITU-R events from now until WRC-19.
The NOW4WRC19 initiative builds on the success of the
WeLead mentoring programme launched by
FCC at the WRC-15. It benefits from the experience of 15 years of growing synergy between the community of women delegates in the radiocommunications sector, from the Annual Women’s Breakfast, to the
Women's Leadership Workshop at WRC-15. NOW4WRC19 aims to continue growing the synergy of this community and providing a forum for sharing knowledge, networking and mentoring.
