​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"Telecommunications/ICT are a key enabler to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to build a world where social, economic, environmental, and technological development is sustainable and available for everyone, everywhere. Technologies such as mobile communications, the Internet of Things, connected cars and cities, the fourth industrial revolution and artificial intelligence, all depend on telecommunication networks, services and applications, and increasingly rely on radiocommunications to provide the basis for ubiquitous connectivity. The ITU Radiocommu​nication Sector plays a vital role in this ecosystem: managing frequency spectrum and satellite orbits, as well as developing globally harmonized regulations and standards, are fundamental in order to ensure accessible and affordable telecommunications to all."
Mario Maniewicz

He also headed the Informatics, Administration and Publication Department and oversaw preparations and served as conference secretary for the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15).

From 2011 to 2014, he was the Chief of the Infrastructure, Enabling Environment, and E-Applications Department in ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT), where he directed assistance to developing countries to bridge the digital divide, promoting networks, services, and applications based on information and communication technologies (ICTs) while ensuring the use of appropriate technologies to build or extend infrastructure and as adapt to the rapidly changing telecommunication and ICT environment.

In addition, he promoted ICT access and use for marginalized groups including women, youth, indigenous people, persons with disabilities and people living in remote communities.

From 2007 to 2011, he was Chief of ITU's Policies and Strategies Department, helping developing countries with policies and regulations to attract investment and enhance networks and services. Earlier, he headed ITU's Capacity Building Division and held regional administrator and expert posts at ITU offices in Brazil, Chile, and Peru offices.
