Telecommunications Infrastructure Index (TII): The index is based on data provided by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
Human Capital Index (HCI): It is based on data provided by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
Online Service Index (OSI): It is based on data collected from an independent survey questionnaire, conducted by UNDESA, which assesses the national online presence of all 193 United Nations Member States.
It mainly assesses e-government development at the national level. It measures countries’ use of information and communications technologies to deliver public services.
The Index captures the scope and quality of online services, status of telecommunication infrastructure and existing human capacity.
