Résumé :

The collection, analysis and dissemination of statistical data and ICT indicators remain the best instrument to measure trends in a country's digital developments. The Comoros has made this choice by setting up a "digital observatory" whose structure and choice of content meet both ITU resolutions, in particular, Resolution 8 (Rev. Kigali, 2022), the regulatory requirements of the Comoros but also, the requests of regional, sub-regional and international bodies (World Bank, UAT, SADC, COMESA, and IOC). The Comoros Observatory is structured to produce a wide range of indicators (network, traffic, access, uses, finances, e-business... etc.). Despite the constant reminders made by ANRTIC to stakeholders on the provision of data, they express reservations about confidentiality. The lack of resources to conduct investigations is an additional source of handicap. These constraints remain and disrupt the proper functioning of the process from collection to dissemination. The report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of resolution 131 (Re. Dubai, 2018), recommends the strengthening of teams dedicated to statistical work and this could at the same time benefit Member States, through increased technical assistance.
