2006 Information and Communications for Development : Global Trends and Policies
The book offers a realistic assessment
of experiences, trends, and outlook on the Information,
Communications Technology (ICT) sector, with a focus on
actual results and justified expectations. It attempts to
track and analyze global ICT development trends, and to
provide empirical evidence of the benefits that ICT is
providing in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction.
Indicators for the Millennium development Goals (MDG)
targets, among others, have been incorporated into the ICT
At-a-Glance tables compiled for this report. It contributes
to the creation of a basis for more systematic monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) of the progress and impact of ICT,
and provides as well as useful insights on ICT for
development in general. Besides consolidating all these
M&E efforts and sharing of the findings with the
development community, the report also includes analytical
work that applies these data to a range of topics:
investment trends, principles and practical solutions to
extending ICT services, the role of ICT in doing business,
trends in national e-strategies, and approaches to tracking
ICT globally. Part I of the report assesses topics essential
to developing ICT. It contains chapters on investment
(chapter 2), access (chapter 3), diffusion and use (chapter
4), country policies and strategies (chapter 5), and
targets, monitoring, and evaluation (chapter 6). Each
chapter provides a theoretical and qualitative framework
supported by quantitative evidence. Where limited data
impede comprehensive economic analysis, a case study
approach is used. Part II presents the new Bank ICT
At-a-Glance tables for 144 economies, which show the most
recent national data on key indicators of ICT development,
including access, quality, affordability, efficiency,
sustainability, and applications.
