The ​​International Teleco​mmunication Union (ITU) and the Policy and Regulation Initiative for Digital Africa (PRIDA) are jointly organizing the ITU-PRIDA Regional Radiocommunication Seminar 2023 for Africa (RRS-23-Africa), kindly hosted by the Agence de Régulation des Postes et des Communications Électroniques (ARPCE) from the Republic of the Congo in cooperation with the African Telecommunications Union​ (ATU).

​RRS-23-Africa will be held at Brazzaville, Congo, over the period 20-23 June 2023 ​(please see the Draft programme, on​ Tab: Information).
​​​​​​​​The content will be organized as follo​ws (for further details, please see on main​ RRS web site): 

​A pre-seminar web tutorial will be available on this website (please see Tab: Download Resources). This tutorial ​will provide the basic concepts of spe​ctrum management ​at national and international levels, their links with ​​ITU Radio Regulations (RR), ITU and ITU-R​ structures and functions, including the study groups and BR departments, and ITU basic texts, with emphasis on the RR and their associated Rules of Procedure (RoP). A good understanding of the pre-seminar web tutorial concepts is required in order to be able to participate actively in the Seminar​.​
The first part of the Seminar will cover concepts related to international ​spectrum management and the procedures for recording of frequency assignments in t​he ​Master International Frequency Register (MIFR). This will be followed by a review of the agenda of the upcoming World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23). This part will also cover the current regulatory framework for international frequency management and the ITU-R Recommendations and best practices regarding the use of spectrum for both terrestrial and space services.  This will include basic training ​​on ICT tools developed by ITU for frequency notifications for those services and for the technical examinations. In addition, information on BR and BDT spectrum management activities will be provided.
During the following part, hands-on workshops ​will be carried out on the use of these tools for terrestrial and space stations. These workshops ​will enable the participants to get experience with ITU notification procedures as well as with the software and electronic publications made available by the Radiocommunication Bureau to the Administrations of Member States and to the ITU-R Sector Members.
RRS-23-Africa​​ will conclude with a w​orkshop: ​”​Wireless b​roadband (terrestrial and satellite)”​. The sessions of this workshop are indicated o​n the ​Draft ​programme (please see on Tab: Information).​
