Sheikh spoke about the requirements needed to implement regulatory sandboxes — a testing mechanism that allows regulators to trial new digital services in a limited legal environment before they are fully introduced to the market.
The authority said its participation in the forum is part of efforts to strengthen Somalia’s communications regulatory system and advance digital services in the country, with a focus on connectivity, security, innovation and broader public inclusion.
