Overview

MCCPT regulation at a glance

In Djibouti, the Ministère de la Communication (MCCPT) regulates the telecom and ICT sectors. Any equipment utilizing radio frequencies or connecting to public networks must obtain MCCPT Type Approval to ensure adherence to international benchmarks.

The framework relies heavily on recognized European (ETSI) standards, eliminating the need for in-country testing or physical product samples. While the process is highly streamlined, certifications are valid for a five-year term and mandatory labeling applies.
