The economic shock can hit countries before the health shock, through income effects, and persist after the health crisis is over… Countries around the world have put in motion a broad set of measures to handle COVID-19 on several fronts….. “While not all schools are closed around the world, many are, and simulations using the COVID-19-adjusted HDI project a steep decline in human development worldwide in 2020, led by a massive setback in effective education because of school closures affecting almost 9 in 10 students and deep recessions in most economies (including a 4 percent drop in GNI per capita worldwide). The decline in the index –reflecting the narrowing of capabilities-- would be equivalent to erasing all the progress in human development of the past six years.” Source: http://hdr.undp.org/en/hdp-covid Area of focus: Network infrastructure and Services Key outputs IOT, AI, 5G, Big Data, High-Speed • Roadmaps and Masterplans Satellite • Case studies • Forums Spectrum Management, • Technical assistance trainings Broadband networks, • Projects and Partnerships Connectivity, Analytics, • Specialized Tools (SMS4DC) Platforms • Tool Kits IPv6, Internet, IXP Conformity & Interoperability Area of focus: Emergency Telecommunications National Emergency Workshops and Emergency Telecommunication capacity building Response Plans Papua New Guinea Global meeting Samoa (GET) In the form of Solomon satellite Islands phones and BGANs Vanuatu Regional and national trainings Afghanistan Area of focus: Digital Applications and Services E-agriculture Projects National strategies Case studies Solutions support Digital finance Forums Trainings Projects and Partnerships m-health Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, Fiji, India, Mongolia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Vanuatu Digital government and smart sustainable cities Whole-of-government approach for digital development National Vision and SDG implementation plan Smart city Digital agriculture policy / Amending strategy / plan previous legislations / regulations Other sectoral Digital health policy/ Whole of policy/ strategy / plan strategy / plan New legislations Government / regulations (National) Policy / Strategy / Plan Digital Smart village Digital financial Customized SDG education inclusion policy/ National policy/ strategy / plan planning Transposition strategy / plan (sustainable, prioritized, resilient) Smart Islands Enterprise architecture City / village / International level National level Islands level Area of focus: Digital Applications and Services- Examples Smart Village GIGA ▪ Multi-stakeholder, cross sectoral initiative ▪ Launched in 2019 ▪ Cost-effective solution accelerate the implementation of the SDG ▪ The goal is to provide connectivity to every school in the world. in remote areas through an integrated development and ▪ The lack of access to the Internet means exclusion, marked by the technology platform model. lack of access to the wealth of information available online, fewer ▪ Aim to increase the efficiency, security and effectiveness of resources to learn and to grow, and limited opportunities for the public services while reducing their cost, promoting transparency most vulnerable children and youth to fulfill their potential. and good governance, enhancing traceability of transactions, ▪ Closing the digital divide requires global cooperation, leadership, and data exchanges, among others. and innovation in finance and technology.​​​ Area of focus: Cybersecurity and Child Online Protection CIRT Assessment and capacity building for Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu, Samoa and Tonga Regional Workshop and COP Guidelines for Vanuatu COP for RMI (planned) ITU Tools and Publications Supporting Digital Inclusion Toolkit for safe Listening Digital Skills New Guideline on Digital Skills Toolkit Devices and Systems Assessment Guidebook COP This toolkit provides Comprehensive and Comprehensive set of This toolkit provides practical policymakers and other practical step-by-step recommendations for guidance to support Member stakeholders with tool for national digital all relevant stakeholders States, industry partners and practical information, skills assessments on how to contribute to civil society groups in the use examples, and step-by- the development of a and implementation of the step guidance to safe and empowering WHO-ITU H.870 Global develop a national online environment for standard on safe listening digital skills strategy children and young devices and systems people.

  • The Drivers Behind Outward Foreign Direct Investment in the Chinese Telecommunication Sector: a Case-Based Analysis
    UNIVERSITE CATHOLIQUE DE LOUVAIN LOUVAIN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT The drivers behind outward foreign direct investment in the Chinese telecommunication sector: A case-based analysis. Supervisor : Prof. Dr. Jean-Christophe Defraigne Project (Research) Master Thesis submitted by Midas De Bondt With a view of getting the degree Master in Management ACADEMIC YEAR 2014-2015 Foreword This thesis was motivated by my sincere interest in emerging economies the different management challenges rising from these economies. The mere fact that the world of management and especially the world of international management has changed so significantly since I started my studies, was a never ending motivation. Even though this interest had always been present, it was not until the first year of my master’s degree that this interest really surfaced during a course called “European Economic Policy” at the Louvain School of Management. It can thus hardly be called a surprise that I was delighted that Professor Jean- Christophe Defraigne accepted to be my thesis promotor. I want to start by thanking him for the excellent support and trust that he has given me to throughout the year and a bit leading up to the completion of this thesis. To continue I would like to thank all the other academics that have influenced me – and thus the content of this thesis - throughout my academic curriculum. Obviously the Louvain School of Management has played the most important role in this aspect, but I would not do justice to plenty of others by not naming them. I therefore want to thank all the professors that have taught, supported and challenged me at the KULeuven, The London School of Economics and Political Sciences and the Wharton School.

Despite justly deserved optimism, Thailand faces a number of keen challenges. It has one of the most complex markets environments in the world, characterized by a maze of interlocking investment structures, lease-based infrastructure concessions and government intervention in the commercial marketplace. To circumvent a constitutional mandate requiring state ownership of “strategic” sectors such as telecom, Thailand introduced build-transfer-operate arrangements, or concessions, in the early 1990s with the two licensed monopolies, TOT and CAT. The concessions were negotiated at different times and with different terms, and some companies enjoy considerable advantages over their competitors. Thailand’s commitments to the WTO and to a bilateral trade agreement with the U.S.
