Egypt

The Egyptian ICT sector suffered from a lack of cohesive and reliable data that truly reflected the state of ICT usage in the country. Indicators suffered inconsistency when published by the Ministry or by its affiliates and there was a problem of unavailability of indicators for measuring the characteristics of using ICT within the households, businesses, government, education and health sectors; which represented a big obstacle for policy makers. Even when indicators and data were available, they were not easily accessible as they were scattered around different departments.
