Abstract
Quantifying the ICT sector in participating countries of the South was undertaken for
the first time. ICT sectors in each country (Cameroon and Egypt from Africa, India and Malaysia from Asia, and Brazil from Latin America) were profiled both in terms of GDP and employment; moreover, the evolution of the sector was tracked, and other issues such as trade, investment and innovation were quantified wherever possible. Research teams formed between national statistical authorities and lead and associate researchers critically analyzed national strengths and areas that would benefit from future policy interventions. Detailed findings of the project were released publicly.
