ITU has developed a series of national country reviews on collaborative digital regulation, in partnership with government authorities, national stakeholders and recognized experts. Based on established evidence-based tools, the ITU ICT Regulatory Tracker and the ITU G5 Benchmark the country reviews offer a comprehensive assessment of the regulatory and governance frameworks, policies, and practices in each studied country.
