The aim of this Manual is to support countries in their efforts to collect and disseminate information and communication technology (ICT) statistics, based on internationally-agreed definitions and standards. It is designed as a practical tool to guide countries in their ICT data production, serving as a basic reference when preparing, designing and implementing ICT household surveys. To assist our members and partners make best use of it, ITU is also developing complementary training material. In this third edition, we continue the trend of expanding the list of ICT indicators, while taking stock of the experiences of developed and developing countries alike in the implementation of ICT surveys. In addition, we have also introduced new measurement topics, reflecting the evolving nature of digital access and use." |
