Regional Profile Of The Information Society In Western Asia PDF Download

"This report aims to depict the status of information societies in the ESCWA region, measure the progress made in building these societies and evaluate the current status of member countries. The profile of the information society was divided into 11 basic components. Each component was rated on a four-level maturity scale, whereby level 1 indicates the lowest level of maturity (1 point) and level 4 the highest level of maturity (4 points). The score for each country (assessed based on information provided in national country reports sent to ESCWA, in addition to a number of external sources) was calculated by adding up the score points for the 11 components and then dividing the result by 11. This allows country comparisons and rankings according to their progress in building the information society"-- Publisher's description.
