The WRC-15 was the peak of African participation and contributions in the ITU-R with the first African to chair a WRC. However, there have been different elements within the international radio regulations that did have a restrictive influence on the African international spectrum policy during WRC-15. In particular, the discussion within ITU-R Region 1 highlighted different requirements between the African countries and other countries in Region 1 and also within the African continent per se with some of the African countries’ proposals not progressing.
