dimensions to help governments design
and implement policies that are fit for the
digital age. In due course, the Toolkit will
incorporate innovative policy practices.
Users can explore the Toolkit using three
entry points: 1) policy dimensions, 2)
countries and 3) themes.

1. Analyse your country’s performance by
policy dimension

The Going Digital Toolkit allows users to
assess performance in each dimension
of the Going Digital Integrated Policy
Framework. For example, the Use policy
dimension includes indicators of how
people and firms use digital technologies
by country. Related publications and policy
guidance are also provided to help design
and develop well-suited policies. 3. Explore the indicators and policy insights by theme
Users may wish to learn more about particular themes, including: 1) data and data flows;
2) development; 3) digital government; 4) digital technologies; 5) gender; 6) productivity;
7) skills; and 8) small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Such issues cut across
several policy dimensions of the Going Digital Integrated Policy Framework. For example,
issues related to SMEs are relevant for the Access, Use, Innovation, Trust and Market
Openness policy dimensions. SMEs create jobs, spur innovation and underpin growth
across the economy, but also face challenges in successfully adopting and using digital
technologies.
