Based on Measuring Digital Development: Facts and Figures 2022, it shows a series of the most important ICT indicators, going back where possible to 2011 to show progress of LDCs achieved during the Istanbul Program of Action, agreed at LDC-IV. At the same time, the publication informs on the attainment of SDG Target 9c, which aims to “significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries by 2020”. New compared with Facts and Figures 2022 is an analysis showing the great diversity within the group of 46 LDCs. The publication also contains some tables with country-level data, including affordability data for 2022 not published before." |
