The Autorité de Régulation Multisectorielle (ARM) is the regulatory authority in Niger responsible for overseeing several sectors, particularly in areas like telecommunications, energy, and possibly other sectors critical to the country's economic infrastructure. ARM's main role is to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, promote fair competition, and protect consumer interests. When it comes to approval, it typically refers to the authorization or licensing process that businesses, operators, or service providers must go through before starting operations in certain sectors.
For example, in telecommunications or energy, companies must obtain approval from ARM before they can offer services. This ensures that the service providers meet the required standards, including technical, financial, and legal criteria, in order to operate legally within the country.
In short, ARM approval is a form of regulatory permission or certification granted to entities in various sectors in Niger to ensure their operations align with national laws and regulations.
