Abstract

The African Digital Policy Project examines cyber policy, regulation and governance frameworks required for the changing nature of economic and social transactions: work, communications, transport, education, health and service delivery. This detailed report covers ongoing Research ICT Africa (RIA) studies which include household surveys, data collection on internet usage, digital financing, quality of service, capacity building, pricing, broadband and ICT access, and related topics. RIA engages in pertinent and evolving global cyberpolicy challenges from a continental, uniquely African perspective. Most African countries suffer a severe shortage of basic ICT statistical data and analysis on which to base policy.
