Description:

URTNA is a professional body with more than 48 active member organizations
committed to the development of all aspects of broadcasting in Africa. It
encourages the exchange of indigenous programming via satellite and
videocassette; strives to obtain preferential satellite tariffs to
facilitate news and program exchange; represents the African point of view
on legal matters such as conventions and agreements; and works with the
ITU as an advisor for the PANAFTEL project.

In URTNA's context, PANAFTEL objectives include improved common carrier
telecommunications systems as well as satellite and terrestrial
interconnections for program exchange. Since 1972, a working group
conducted jointly with other international organizations has been studying
the contribution of communications satellites to education, culture, and
development in Africa. URTNA has conducted a long-term project with
governments of member organizations to evaluate rural telecommunications
needs in Africa. URTNA also presents seminars, workshops, and conferences
on topics such as news, educational broadcasting and television
development of communications, satellite communications, and training.

URTNA is composed of the national radio and television organizations of
African states that are members of the OAU. Associate members are national
radio and/or television organizations from non-African countries.
