Abstract :

ITU develops international definitions, standards and methodologies to measure the information society and digital economy in close cooperation with other regional and international organizations and through its thematic Expert Groups. Data are collected from Member States, disseminated through the ITU World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators (WTI) database and analysed in the Measuring the Information Society Report. Training workshops are conducted to build capacity for data collection in Member States. This document reports on the implementation of Resolution 131 (Rev. Dubai, 2018) on Measuring information and communication technologies to build an integrating and inclusive information society during the year 2018. In addition, the document examines the necessary human and financial resources required to conduct ITU's work in gathering, producing and publishing meaningful data, information, statistics and reports.
