Methodology
of Scan-ICT
The Scan-ICT project uses indicators worked out
by the CRDI, which covers thematics
fields defined in the African Information Society
Initiave, namely the installation of the infrastructure,
strategic planning, the sectoral applications,
the electronic governance, the information society
and the economy of information. This methodology
has the aim of improving the collection and the
analysis of data and to follow the progress achieved
in the sector of the ICT by the pilot countries.
The methodology of the Scan project will be used
to refine the indicators to take in consideration
the multiplication or the evolution of the needs
for
the countries. If it is necessary, new indicators
will be developed. As the indicators and reference
marks are refined, the project Scan- ICT will make
it possible to provide to the decision makers precise
and up to date data on progress observed
at the wire of time. The common elements appearing
in the data and data bases will also make it
possible to analyze, follow and exchange the best
practices and lessons learned at the regional level.

These institutions must draw up
and publish reports on the activities of the Scan-ICT project
in their respective countries, create Web
site, set up systems of data acquisition
to follow the situation with regard to the ICT
and to regularly update profiles
of their respective countries.
