SCAN-ICT
Scan-ICT is an initiative launched by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the Government of Finland to make available quality data on ICT activities in Africa.

It is built upon the experiences of the Phase I programme, following which, it was decided that the methodologies on core indicators and frameworks should be under the coordination of National Statistical Offices.
