DIG-002

Number of people provided with new or improved access to the internet

Difficulty:Medium Cumulative number

Definition and Methodology

Total count of individuals with improved access to the internet. Access to the internet refers to personal access and does not include household access or any other type of shared access. Only mobile internet access can be counted. Fixed subscriptions do not count. Only internet access via subscriptions or prepaid services can be counted. Internet access through hotspots or municipal networks or provided by public institutions or private businesses does not count. Only one person can be counted per phone/subscription because this indicator measures personal access to the internet.

The unit of measurement is cumulative number. Double counting is not allowed: a person can be counted only once in the same reporting period. This means that if the same person benefits from one or more forms of support, over one or more years of the same reporting period, from the same intervention or different interventions, this person should be counted only once.
