نبذة عني

I recall when I was around 7 years old, my father invested in a personal computer. That was my first interaction with technology and ever since then I grew a passion towards it.


I also developed a passion for politics in my college years in the American University in Cairo as I was studying for my bachelor's degree in political science.


Building on that I, learnt about international development in the University of Birmingham as I studied for my Master's degree.


Catering to my passion towards technology, development and politics I spent most of my career promoting the use of Information and Communication Technologies for Development.


I worked both for the government of Egypt as well as international organizations such as the International Finance Corporation and the International Telecommunication Union where I am currently employed.


My current role in the ITU provides a platform to work with stakeholders across the Arab region to promote partnerships and collaboration on ICT for SDGs.


Happy to connect with you and discuss mutual collaboration, feel free to reach out to me by email: karim.abdelghani @ itu.int
