Why are the Applications measures not in line with the perception that I have of some countries’ ICT application status?
The two indicators included in the applications measure, namely the United Nations Web Measure Index and the number of secure servers, might not be representative of the wider applications dimension, as they focus on the adoption of ICT applications in government and business. Indicators that might measure take-up of ICT in the education and health sectors, for example, such as percentage of schools connected to the Internet and percentage of clinics with personal computers or Internet connections, are not widely available for many developing countries. Relevant indicators for these areas have thus not yet been included in this edition of the Application measure.
