About This Website
|
|
This website is part of a project set up by the
United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA)
working closely working with Partners to prepare the
ground and lead the process of setting up a mechanism
for the establishment of benchmarks and monitoring
systems in the area of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT). |
|

|
In the African region, ECA established a project that is
helping spearhead the process in the region as a result
of which countries like The Gambia benefited to conduct
baseline studies in the area of ICT and, to also look
into modalities to incorporate the continuous production
of ICT statistics within the National Statistics System.
The project helped African countries discussed and
agreed on sixty-two indicators that all should endeavour
to collect the necessary data for their production
regularly. |
|
|
|
This has lead to an international consensus in
developing and agreeing of indicators to benchmark and
monitor of progress in the area of ICT development,
access, usage and exploitation. Not also loosing sight
of the need for common and standardized methodologies
for comparison purpose. |

This website was created to be the official
