Arab Information Society


In an effort to assess the status of the information society, and in-line with the WSIS Action Lines, ESCWA prepared national profiles of the Information Society for each member country every two years (from 2003 to 2013), and compiled a biennial regional profile that included a comparative analysis.

The last regional profile was published in 2015 and provides a brief overview of the last 12 years of development as well as a look towards the future of the information society in the Arab region, including possible considerations related to the Sustainable Development Goals.

To gain access to all the regional profiles on the information society, please click on the Publications link on the menu.
