Internet Universality Indicators
The concept of?Internet Universality?reflects UNESCO’s position in the digital age. It revolves around the four fundamental ROAM principles, according to which the Internet should be?human Rights-based, Open,?Accessible to all and?nurtured by Multi-stakeholder participation.
UNESCO works to encourage interested Member States and all stakeholders to support and conduct national assessments of Internet development, on a voluntary basis, with the Internet Universality ROAM-X Indicators.
These assessments aim to:
- Develop a clear and substantive understanding of the national Internet environment and of Internet policies contributing to sustainable development;
- Assess this environment and these policies in relation to the implementation of UNESCO’s ROAM principles;
- Formulate policy recommendations that can help improve Internet development in the country.
