Ranking of country performances on the AIH

Each month, the Bank collects usage statistics by countries and participating regional agencies on the African Information Highway (AIH). The information is then used to rank countries/agencies based on the number of visits to their site and then disseminated back to them. Based on their performance and ranking, countries can better benchmark and perhaps make some decisions about their country’s own system. Below is a summary report from the statistics collected for August 2014.

Since May, Mozambique and Nigeria have consistently ranked first and second respectively in terms of usage. In the month of August, this trend continued with Mozambique receiving 3346 visits from 73 countries and Nigeria receiving 1542 page visits from 58 countries. Rounding out the top five were Guinea Bissau, Rwanda, and Cabo Verde, with 783, 658, and 425 page visits respectively. On the other hand, some countries have had few or no visits to their data portals. Countries with just one visit were Angola, Congo, and Mali. Finally there were ten countries that did not receive any visits at all. These were Benin, Comoros, Cote d’Ivoire, Gabon, Guinea, Mauritania, Niger, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Swaziland.
