As part of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MoICT) effort in reviewing Jordan's ICT sector Policy, an e-readiness assessment study was conducted in the second quarter of this year, 2006. The first e-Readiness Assessment of Jordan was conducted in 2002. The aim of the latest study is to evaluate the achievements of Jordan with respect to e-Readiness since the first assessment and identify areas that still remain underdeveloped and require further action to be taken.

Jordan's E-readiness was approached in the study from four directions:

o        Benchmarking Jordan’s progress in utilizing ICT against that of other nations that have succeeded in deploying information and communications technologies as major economic drivers.

o        Identifying the achievements of Jordan since the 2002 assessment and the remaining gaps.

o        Highlighting Jordan’s ICT strengths, successes, opportunities and identify potential ICT-related challenges that could serve as obstacles to Jordan’s economic and social sector development

o        Underlining the ongoing initiatives in Jordan and propose actions that would serve as quick-win solutions and further directional recommendations to close the gap between Jordan’s current level and the desired state in terms of e-Readiness.
