uBackground On COE- AMSBackground On COE- AMS
The Centre of Excellence for the Americas (or CoE-AMS) was among the four Centre of Excellence Projects launched during year 2000.
From the very beginning, this project had a growing impact in the region,taking into consideration several factors: • Firstly, most of the CoE training production is delivered in Distance
Learning mode with easy access to the ITU e-learning platform from any existing organization in the region
• Secondly, training fees have been applied successfully since 2002. The generated revenues are split between the Nodes and the Project budget, ensuring a long term sustainability of the CoE mechanism.
• Thirdly, this project has signed 17 Node agreements with Key Training Providers and Training Organizers (CITEL, COMTELCA, ACIEM, CTU, etc.) who are the real stakeholders of the CoE
.

A wide range of topics focusing on the Operator skills with some subjects which address other Player needs (Strategic Planning, Tariff strategies, etc,.)
Technology AwarenessFour major topics: Broadband Services, Transitions towards NGN, Transitions
towards 3G mobile networks, IP based TechnologiesSpectrum Management
Already implemented in most of the regions. An area where Subject Matter Experts are more familiar with cooperative practices
Rural ConnectivityClose relationship with Universal Service Strategies. Growing need for combining the
three main aspects in each workshop: Technical, Regulatory and economical

uCaribbean Nodes ImplementationCaribbean Nodes Implementation
Through the implementation of a dedicated Working Plan, the CoE-AMS will seek to bring into operation in the Caribbean region a network of 3 self-sustainable nodes.
Once established, these Nodes should offer together at least 20 training sessions per year distributed among 3 major areas of ICTs (Spectrum Management, Regulatory Issues, Technology Awareness)
In two years, Caribbean potential content providers, service providers and technology providers already established in the region, should be able to give practical effect to Node agreements in order to serve as network nodes or to provide leadershipship for CoE training programmes carried out on an annual basis

uProject Implementation Project Implementation
“three phases of evolution”“three phases of evolution”
• Establish the “Center of Excellence” brand; build a caribbean framework; create a critical mass of Training courses; attract a significant number of participants and sponsors.Funding: Seed fund established by the CoE project.
• Consolidate the “Center of Excellence” brand; fine tune the network and the training offer to guarantee excellent quality of the programmes offered; ensure satisfaction of participants and partners; start generating income to foster the future self-sustainability of the Caribbean Nodes.Funding: Seed fund, income due to training fees and sponsorship. (Decreasing use of the seed fund and increasing use of other resources).
• Achieve self-sustainability of the Center of Excellence, established as a network with recognized programmes and stable income that covers the costs of the course delivery and the coordination of the CoE activities.Funding: Income from training fees and sponsorship.

uProgrammes and activitiesProgrammes and activities
Some Basic PrinciplesSome Basic Principles
CoE products provide the opportunity to complement other ITU regional training activities. In this respect they need to focus first on experience and best practices.
The most successful CoE products combine face-to-face workshops, e-learning activities and case studies or simulations based on models
Best CoE products are based mainly on regional cooperative work and Partners inputs - CTU, CANTO, OOCUR, ECTEL, CARICOM, CITEL, Governments, Regulators, Operators, Manufacturers
The global acceptance of a long-term sustainability is based on delivery at cost and simplified coordination
