The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations, established in 1865. It is a state-owned intergovernmental organization with approximately 1190 employees headquartered in the United States. The ITU's primary focus is on information and communication technologies (ICTs), working with its 193 member states and around 900 other entities, including companies, universities, and international and regional organizations, to foster innovation in the telecommunications sector.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) participated in a joint initiative with UN Women and the African Union Commission (AUC), training Kenyan women in coding and digital entrepreneurship. A study by the ITU evaluated the feasibility of gap waveguides for 6G applications in the 275–325-GHz band. Dr. Avi Perry, a former ITU Standards Committee representative for the United States, contributed to the G.168 standard. The ITU, alongside the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), launched the "Digital Agriculture and Rural Transformation" (DART) programme in Albania to support rural economic development through digital innovation. A new ITU report indicates that billions will remain unconnected in 2025, outlining a plan to achieve universal connectivity by 2030.
