Digital Access index
The Digital Access Index is a GeSI produced tool designed to exclusively track digital and technology indicators across the entire digital industry. It is dynamic by nature, continuously evolving to incorporate new data and reflect industry advancements.
Background:
Following the release of our latest SMART Report in 2019, our analysis found a strong and positive link between digital access and the successful achievement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This clear correlation is consistently found for 65% of the SDGs across all development levels (developed regions, developing regions, least developed countries) and geographies. This was the catalyst for the creation of the Digital Access Index.
