Addis Ababa, Geneva, Washington DC, 25 November 2020 -The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and Portulans Institute, a research and educational think tank based in Washington DC, have teamed up to launch the results and rankings of the think tank’s latest edition of the Network Readiness Report (NRI 2020) in a bid to assess how countries are leveraging information technologies for future readiness.
Titled, ‘Accelerating Digital Transformation in a Post-COVID Global Economy’, the Report will be launched virtually on 30 November.
According to the Report, Africa continues to trail behind other regions on issues of access, affordability and usage of ICTs. It notes that once the “ripple effect” of COVID starts to hit international trade and investment flows, such divergences between “network-ready economies” and “laggards” may be amplified.
