﻿ Regional Profile of the Information Society in the Arab Region, 2003-2015 Skip to main content


Issued in: 


"This report provides comprehensive details regarding the evolution of the information society gained over the past 13 years in the Arab World. It is visible from the report that many Arab countries have achieved a significant progress in fields like infrastructure, enabling environment, increasing the accessibility and usability of information. However, we still did not decrease significantly the digital gap with developed counties.  This report gives us a push towards more work and cooperation to empower, develop and improve the information and telecommunication society. Hence, we are required to start immediately the planning and implementation processes especially that we are facing a huge information and telecommunication revolution which includes Internet of Things, 5G and the big data.  I am quite confident that, in the Arab region, we can face the challenges as long as there is a will and ability."
