Doha: Qatar's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has presented the country's new Digital Inclusion Index at MWC25 Doha, outlining how the framework will help identify digital gaps and guide evidence-based policymaking.

During a roundtable workshop, experts and regulators reviewed the index's pillars, data-collection methods and evaluation models.

Duha Al Buhendi, Director of Digital Society, said the index is the first of its kind globally and forms part of Qatar's long-running efforts to ensure equal access to digital opportunities.

She noted that a third of the world's population remains offline, underscoring the need for digital-skills investment, which she said can generate significant economic returns.
