The DAI was created in 2003 and measures the overall ability of individuals in a country to access and use new ICTs. The DAI is built around 4 fundamental aspects of a country's ability to access ICT; infrastructure, affordability, knowledge and quality and actual usage of ICT. The DAI allows countries to see how they compare to peers and their relative strengths and weaknesses. It provides a transparent and globally measurable way of tracking progress towards improving access to ICTs.
