This presentation is the first session of a two-day workshop in Cameroon on the Management of Universal Access Funds. It provides the background of the development of USAFs.
ITU is the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs). As such, it is responsible for the allocation of radio spectrum and satellite orbits, and for the standardization and development of ICTs worldwide. ITU is firmly committed to connecting all the world’s people – wherever they live and whatever their means – and safeguarding everyone’s fundamental right to communicate. ICTs underpin everything we do in the modern world, and today each and every one of us is dependent on ICT networks and applications.
They help manage and control everything from emergency services, water supplies, power networks and food distribution chains, to health care, education, government services, financial markets and local and international transportation. Tremendous progress has already been made, with well over five billion mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide, and more than two billion of the world’s people now having access to the Internet. With the help of our membership we bring the benefits of modern communication technologies to everyone in an efficient, safe, easy and affordable manner.
We bring together all the players in this extraordinarily diverse industry – from well-established businesses to new market entrants and academia – to do the best possible job. Membership in ITU benefits everyone. And it provides ITU with improved leverage and reach, helping us achieve not just our own goals, but the greater goals of humanity. It also brings a clear and rapid return on investment to our members, who benefit from ITU being a unique, neutral, global organization. ITU membership offers you unparalleled networking opportunities with the industry’s top talent, and representatives from 192 governments, along with regulators, leading academic institutions and some 700 private-sector entities.
That gives you an unrivalled opportunity to engage directly with the industry’s decision-makers to influence the future shape of the ICT sector, to agree on new standards that will give you greater market reach, and to have your voice heard around the world. We look forward to hearing from you. Dr Hamadoun I. Touré Secretary-General,

How advanced are Italian regions in terms of public eServicesLuigi Reggi
The study aims at providing evidence on regional differences in the diffusion of ICT in the public sector in Italy, with a focus on different types of public e-services (eGovernment, eHealth, eEducation and Intelligent Transport Systems). Data are ob-tained by merging four different surveys carried out by Between Co. (2010-11) and Istat - Italy’s National Bureau of Statistics (2009). We pursue a three-fold objective. First, we attempt to overcome the prevailing attitude to consider the various domains of public e-service provision as separate from one another. In other words, measuring the progress of digital government requires a holistic view to capture the wide spectrum of public e-services in different domains (e.g. local and national administrative procedures, transportation, education, etc.) and the different aspects of service provision (not just e-readiness or web interactivity, but also multi-channel availability and take-up). Second, we shall tackle a major drawback of existing statistics and benchmarking studies of public e-services, which are largely based on the count of services provided online, by including more sophisticated indicators both on quality of services offered and back office changes. Third, we develop a sound, open and transparent methodology for constructing a public eServices composite indicator based on OECD/EC-JRC Handbook. This methodology, which incorporates experts opinion into a Data Envelopment Analysis, will allow us to combine data on different e-service categories and on different aspects of their development, and will enable us to define a ranking of Italian regions in terms of ICT adoption and public e-service development.

Open Government Data Ecosystems: Linking Transparency for Innovation with Tra...Luigi Reggi
Presentation at IFIP EGOV 2016 Conference. September 5, 2016.
Abstract. The rhetoric of open government data (OGD) promises that data transparency will lead to multiple public benefits: economic and social innovation, civic participation, public-private collaboration, and public accountability. In reality much less has been accomplished in practice than advocates have hoped. OGD research to address this gap tends to fall into two streams – one that focuses on data publication and re-use for purposes of innovation, and one that views publication as a stimulus for civic participation and government accountability - with little attention to whether or how these two views interact. In this paper we use an ecosystem perspective to explore this question. Through an exploratory case study we show how two related cycles of influences can flow from open data publication. The first addresses transparency for innovation goals, the second addresses larger issues of data use for public engagement and greater government accountability. Together they help explain the potential and also the barriers to reaching both kinds of goals.

“…Europe must renew the basis of its competitiveness, increase its growth potential and its productivity
and strengthen social cohesion, placing the main emphasis on knowledge, innovation and the
optimization of human capital To achieve these objectives, the Union must mobilize all appropriate
national and Community resources – including the cohesion policy”.
(European Spring Council 2005).
“…In line with the re‐launch of the Lisbon strategy for Growth and Jobs, cohesion policy should focus on
knowledge, research and innovation and human capital. Accordingly, the global financial effort in
support of these fields of action should be significantly increased”.
(E.C. 2005 Cohesion policy in support of growth and jobs. Community strategic guidelines, 2007‐2013 )
“In the 2007‐2013 planning period the share of Structural Funds of the European
Union allocated to Research and Innovation (the Lisbon Agenda ) received the
Union allocated to Research and Innovation (the “Lisbon Agenda”) received the
largest increase, in absolute and relative terms. It is no exaggeration to claim that,
for many countries, the entire Lisbon Agenda rests on Structural Funds.”

30. Factor analysis: preliminary evidence
analysis: preliminary
• Low correlation between e‐services and the other
categories of expenditure => Regions investing in
e‐services made a “clear choice”
• CONV Regions tend to choose the “e‐services
CONV Regions tend to choose the e services
strategy” more frequently than COMP regions
• I CONV R i
In CONV Regions – where structural funds are the
h t t lf d th
main source of funding for information society –
the measures aimed at promoting e‐business are
h i d i b i
often accompanied by the development of
broadband networks (see Sicily strategy)

31. Conclusion (1)
1. Stylized f
li d fatcs: European Cohesion Policy 2007‐
h i li
13 is a really ( in many cases, probably the
most) important source for financing e‐services
in the CONV Regions.
2. Cluster analysis: As to the allocated resources
of Structural funds for e‐services:
a) Significant heterogeneity across Member States
b) Significant heterogeneity within Member States
and across European Regions

32. Conclusion (2)
3. Factor analysis:
a) Allocated resources for e‐services stands alone:
)
an “e‐services strategy” could be identified.
b) CONV Regions are more likely to adopt such a “e‐
CONV Regions are more likely a e
services strategy”.

33. Further research
• What does determine the allocation of
resources?
• Which regional characteristics influence
funding allocation?
allocation?
• Is there a significant difference between
national and regional level among Member
State
