E-ready for what? (pdf 1.6mb)

This study summarises the key findings and lessons from InfoDev's program of support for country e-readiness studies and similar projects aimed at helping country's assess and improve their e-readiness.

In particular, the study addresses four key questions:

- What did the InfoDev supported assessments, and other similar e-readiness assessments measure?
- Have the e-readiness assessment processes improved these countries' e-readiness and brought related socio-economic benefits?
- How effective were the e-readiness assessment processes themselves in terms of project management, implementation, and support?
- How can InfoDev and ICT-for-development initiatives improve or adjust an approach to ICT-based development?
