Inclusive Digital Economy Scorecard - Zanzibar

The Zanzibar Inclusive Digital Economy Scorecard (IDES) aims to provide an overall score of Zanzibar’s digital economy to inform its digital transformation policy endeavors. 

The IDES provides an overall score for the development of a digital economy based on the following four vital building blocks of a digital economy (Policy & Regulation, Infrastructure, Innovation and Skills). It also provides a score for the inclusiveness of the digital economy for marginalised population segments (rural population, women, youth, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), elderly, people with disabilities). The inclusiveness of the digital economy is primarily measured through a qualitative assessment of the efforts made by the public and the private sector to include specific segments in the expansion of the digital economy.
