Initially, a regional support team, including representatives from African Regional Regulatory Organizations (RROs), collaborates with participants to implement their strategic change initiatives, promoting regional harmonisation. Four months after the initial European training, a week-long follow-up meeting is held in Africa to review progress, present results, and facilitate discussions among participants. The culmination of this assessment process occurs one year after the start of each round when the implementation of change initiatives by participating National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) is thoroughly evaluated. This year-long cycle allows iPRIS to track the practical application of skills and knowledge gained during training, assess the impact of change initiatives on addressing specific ICT sector challenges, and measure progress towards goals such as improved digital inclusion, regulatory efficiency, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n<p>                <!-- .elementskit-card END --><br \/>\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-54ca5ce66b1cc87e3910\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-54ca5ce66b1cc87e3910\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-54ca5ce66b1cc87e3910\"><br \/>\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon --><br \/>\n                                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M223.7 239l136-136c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L319.9 256l96.4 96.4c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L393.7 409c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-136-136c-9.5-9.4-9.5-24.6-.1-34zm-192 34l136 136c9.4 9.4 24.6 9.4 33.9 0l22.6-22.6c9.4-9.4 9.4-24.6 0-33.9L127.9 256l96.4-96.4c9.4-9.4 9.4-24.6 0-33.9L201.7 103c-9.4-9.4-24.6-9.4-33.9 0l-136 136c-9.5 9.4-9.5 24.6-.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n                                        <!-- Active Icon --><br \/>\n                            How does iPRIS address the unique challenges faced by different African countries in terms of ICT regulation and infrastructure?<br \/>\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon --><br \/>\n                                        <!-- Active Icon --><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>iPRIS addresses different African countries&#8217; unique ICT regulation and infrastructure challenges through a multi-faceted approach.
