ICASA participated in the weeklong ITU Global Symposium for Regulators 2026 (GSR-26) in Ankara, where regulators and industry leaders from around the world engaged on collaborative and inclusive approaches to shaping the digital future.
During the programme, a number of activities took place, including high-level dialogues and technical sessions focused on advancing regulatory excellence. One of these was the “Experimenting for Regulatory Excellence” session, where ICASA Chairperson, Mothibi Ramusi, contributed to discussions on the use of regulatory sandboxes as a tool to support more agile and responsive regulation.
The Chairperson also participated in the Heads of Regulators Roundtable, where regulators collectively adopted the ITU GSR-26 Best Practice Guidelines on “Regulatory Governance Essentials: the new core kit regulators need to make digital markets deliver.”
In adopting the guidelines, ICASA made several interventions focused on meaningful connectivity, spectrum sharing, affordability and inclusive digital participation.
On the sidelines of GSR-26, ICASA held bilateral engagements with the Government of Bahrain and the Kingdoms Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), as well as Instituto Nacional das Comunicações de Moçambique (INCM), aimed at strengthening regulatory cooperation and collaboration.
The ICASA delegation also included Thabisa Faye, Andrew Matseke, CEO Tshiamo Maluleka-Disemelo and the Executive for Licensing and Compliance.
