ICT ministry has recognized the importance of having quantitative and qualitative understanding of ICT development in Islamic Republic of Iran on both supply and demand side. Six years ago, the ministry delegated the responsibility of measuring the information society of Iran to the Information Technology Organization of Iran (ITO) as one of its subsidiaries. ITO has defined a long-term and ongoing program for measuring the information society of Iran and evaluating progress with regards to the existing ICT-related goals and policies in the development plans of the country as well as towards WSIS targets, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other related agendas. As a part of this program, ITO has developed the ICT Core Indicators of Iran, all needed processes, including data collection, data processing, data evaluation and analysis, data dissemination, reporting and interaction with national and international bodies, continuous improvement process and national coordination and collaboration.Now, all the data and analysis from the existing processes are published in the Portal of Measuring the Information Society of Iran (www.ito.gov.ir).
