Tunisia – A moderate ICT performer, needs to boost human development

Tunisia comes in at a moderate 13th position within the resource and efficiency-driven economies, and outranks its peers Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria.

Tunisia continues its strong performance in the consumer segment driven by near 100% mobile network coverage which is the country’s biggest strength. However the country lags its peers with only average performances in broadband penetration, Internet usage and subscriber levels.
The country is also held back by weak performances across the business and government segments with low penetration of personal computers (PC), secure Internet servers, and low business investment in IT hardware and software.

Tunisia has one of the most developed telecommunications infrastructures in Northern Africa, boasting some of the continent’s highest market penetration rates. Going forward, the country shoiuld focus on policies that develop human capital and boost wider ICT deployment and usage.
