This paper explores why measuring the impacts of ICT for development is important – and why it is statistically challenging. Measuring impacts in any field is difficult, but for ICT there are added complications because of its diversity and rapidly changing nature. A number of impact areas are identified in Section I and their relationships explored in the context of their place in the social, economic and environmental realms. The result is a complex web of relationships between individual impact areas (such as economic growth and poverty alleviation) and background factors such as a country’s level of education and government regulation.
