ISBN: 978-92-61-24511-5 (Paper version) 978-92-61-24521-4 (Electronic version) 978-92-61-24531-3 (EPUB version) 978-92-61-24541-2 (Mobi version) ii Measuring the Information Society Report 2017 - Volume 2 Introduction The country profiles presented in this second volume of theMeasuring the Information Society Report 2017 represent a comprehensive effort by ITU to provide a snapshot of the status of the information and communication technology (ICT) markets in 192 economies, including significant infrastructure developments, and government policy and initiatives to improve the access and use of ICTs for households and individuals. Each profile is structured around three key areas: mobile services, fixed services, and government policy. The profiles are supported by a table showing key indicators of mobile and fixed subscription penetration rates, prices of ICT services, and data on access and use of ICTs by households and individuals. The tables present 2016 ITU data that were collected in the spring of 2017 through the short World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators (WTI) questionnaire and the short questionnaire on ICT Access and Use by Households and Individuals. The data on ICT prices were collected in the last quarter of 2016 by means of the ICT Price Basket Questionnaire. The tables also include regional and global averages as references. The indicator definitions are presented in Annex 1. The qualitative information provided in the country profiles is based on research conducted during May-June 2017. The research took into consideration information provided in official documents and other information provided on websites of relevant ministries, regulatory authorities, national statistical offices, and telecommunication operators. The country profiles also include information provided in reports published by international organizations and news announcements reported through reputable telecommunication media sources. The draft country profiles were shared with the official country statistical focal points for final verification in October 2017. It is, however, important to recognize the rapid developments that often take place in the ICT sector. This being the case, new information may have become available during the final stages of the production cycle of this report, and more recent ICT developments can therefore be reflected only in future editions. The second volume of the Measuring the Information Society Report 2017was prepared by the ICT Data and Statistics Division within the Telecommunication Development Bureau of ITU. The following consultants to ITU provided substantive contributions to the country profiles: Abdelfattah Abuqayyas (Arab States), Lisa Kreuzenbeck (Europe), Michael Minges (Africa, Asia and the Pacific), Chelsea Mori Clark (the Americas) and Ihar Shchetko (CIS). Insightful comments on the country profiles were also made by colleagues from the ITU Regional Offices. ITU also appreciates the cooperation of countries for providing data and information included in this volume.

  • OSAC Country Security Report Botswana
    OSAC Country Security Report Botswana Last Updated: July 28, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Botswana at Level 4, indicating that travelers should not travel to Botswana due to COVID-19. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Botswana 41 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a High state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Gaborone as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Botswana. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Criminal incidents, particularly crimes of opportunity (e.g., purse snatchings, smash-and-grabs from parked cars and in traffic, residential burglaries), can occur regardless of location. Theft of mobile phones, laptop computers, and other mobile devices are common. Criminals can be confrontational. Criminals often arm themselves with knives or blunt objects (e.g., tools, shovels, bats). Botswana has strict gun-control laws, but criminals reportedly smuggle firearms from neighboring countries where weapons are inexpensive and readily available. A public awareness campaign highlights this issue and requests the public report illegal firearms to the police. Reporting indicates instances of non-violent residential burglaries and violent home invasions. Incidents affect local residents, expatriates, and visitors alike. Robberies and burglaries tend to spike during the holiday seasons.

Successful implementation of these efforts, coupled with resolution of the issue of foreign exchange shortages, would increase Ethiopia’s attractiveness as a FDI destination and boost its economic growth rate.
