​​​​​Leading, improving and adapting to the changing technology environment

​Outcomes
Target 4.1: Telecommunication/ICT environment conducive to innovation
Target 4.2: Effective partnerships between stakeholders in the telecommunication/ICT environment.

ITU is working with partners to develop indicators to measure achievement of Targets 4.1 and 4.2. In the case of Target 4.1, which is concerned with innovation capacity, it may be possible to establish proxy indicators that draw on ICT-focused data within data series which are used for wider innovation measurements such as the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Global Innovation Index and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor published annually by a group of international universities. In the case of Target 4.2, which is concerned with partnership, it will be necessary to develop new indicators for innovation which can be assessed alongside established indicators. Work will continue on the development of indicators for these targets
