Monitoring & Assessing

How can we measure infrastructure connectivity performance? GICA equips practitioners by identifying the best-fitted tools to monitor and assess connectivity at a global, regional, national, or local level. 

Global

With these global indices, compare and benchmark national performances against regional peers or within selected country groupings—or monitor a country-level performance over time with periodically published indices.
