• Advocate and reach consensus on policy and regulatory positions
• Form alliances and build relationships
• Provide private sector members with greater access to policymakers
• Raise awareness and promote priorities of current and future ICT4D initiatives.

• The opportunity to participate in the CTO Council meeting and Forum. This is the apex conference of the CTO, which is hosted by a member country annually and is attended by senior policymakers and heads of regulatory authorities
• The chance to play a pivotal and direct role in the governance of the Organisation by election to the Executive Committee
• Receiving training to build capacity in a wide range of components of ICTs
• Opportunities to participate at various CTO conferences and events on topical subjects as a speaker, exhibitor or delegate
