Development of regulatory framework in Syria (2005-2008)

Project:

New Approaches to Telecommunications Policy II (2005-2008; with Frontier Economics and Clifford Chance)

Client:

European Commission

Description:

We provided the Syrian ministry of telecommunications with a series of workshops to get acquainted with all aspects of liberalisation. We wrote a strategy paper to update the MTIT’s policy statements. We drafted a comprehensive Telecommunications Act that is currently being prepared for political decision making. We assisted in selecting and training a Regulatory Task Force inside the Ministry, which will be the core of the future regulatory authority SYTRA. We provide advice on the structure of SYTRA and its staffing and budget development.
