The index assesses the level of connectivity across 159 economies worldwide.

The country's steady progress since 2023 is primarily due to achieving 90.8 points in the "Effective Connectivity" pillar, while the "Inclusive Connectivity" pillar remains at 69.5 points, highlighting the need for broader internet access across all social groups. At the continental level, Morocco leads Africa with a score of 89.2, followed by Mauritius with 89.1, then Algeria with 87.8, and South Africa and Seychelles both with 84.4.
