ATU - African Telecommunications Union

This is the official YouTube channel for the African Telecommunications Union (ATU).

ATU was founded in 1977 as a specialised agency of the Organisation of African Unity, now the African Union, in the field of telecommunications. 

ATU provides a forum for stakeholders involved in ICT to formulate effective policies and strategies aimed at improving access to information infrastructure and services. In addition, the Union represents the interests of its members at global decision-making conferences and promotes initiatives aimed at integrating regional markets, attracting investment into ICT infrastructure, and building institutional and human capacity.

The mission of the Union is to promote the rapid development of info-communications in Africa in order to achieve universal access and full inter-country connectivity. 

The Union envisions an Africa that is empowered as a full and active participant in the global information and knowledge society.
