Digital Opportunity Index • “In cooperation with each country concerned, develop and launch a composite ICT Development (Digital Opportunity) Index.”— WSIS I, Geneva, Plan of Action, December 2003 • “The development of ICT indicators is important for measuring the digital divide. … We also note the launch of the … Digital Opportunity Index, which will build upon the common set of core ICT indicators as they were defined within the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development.”—WSIS II, Tunis, Agenda for the Information Society, November 2005
What is digital opportunity? • The whole population having easy access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) at affordable prices; • All homes equipped with ICT devices; • All citizens having mobile ICT devices; and • Everyone using broadband.
Problems with existing indexes • Subjective • Exclusive • Poor choice of indicators • Confusing methodology • Limited analysis over time http://www.cepal.org/cgi-bin/getProd.asp?xml=/socinfo/noticias/documentosdetrabajo/8/24228/P24228.xml&xsl=/socinfo/tpl-i/p38f.xsl&base=/socinfo/tpl-i/top-bottom.xsl
DOI advantages • Objective - Only statistical indicators • Inclusive – 180 economies covered • Standard indicators - “Partnership” core ICT indicators • Straightforward methodology - UNDP HDI oriented, favorable to developing countries • Time series – 2000-2005
