Evaluation
The 54th Executive Council Meeting is one of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union’s (CTU) closed statutory meetings, convened for members of the Executive Council (EC), which includes Permanent Secretaries, Technical Officers and Advisors to Ministers responsible for ICT within CTU Member States. The EC, which reports to and makes recommendations to the CTU General Conference of Ministers, serves as a critical forum for guidance to be provided on strategic decision-making, policy and administrative direction and oversight of the CTU Secretariat’s work programme.
During the session, Executive Council members deliberate on key ICT-related issues impacting the region, review the progress of ongoing projects and initiatives and provide guidance on future priorities to ensure alignment with the CTU’s mandate and the needs of its Member States.
Discussions and recommendations arising therefrom that are made during Executive Council Meetings are taken to the General Conference of Ministers for that body’s approval and thus serve to directly influence the policies and strategic direction of the CTU, ensuring that the organisation continues to effectively advocate for and implement ICT-led development initiatives across the region.
The Executive Council also provides a platform for representatives of Non-State Members that wish to discuss with Council, pertinent matters affecting their organisation that they would like to bring to Council’s attention.
Please note that the Provisional Agenda and documents for the meeting will be included on the Members Portal in due course.
