In its 2012 Networked Readiness Index (NRI), for the first and only time, the World Economic Forum (WEF) assessed the extent to which Belize is leveraging ICT to increase its competiveness and positively impact national development. Unfortunately, according to the 2013 Report, the most recent survey data “could not be collected in Belize”. Thus, along with other factors, the 2012 NRI findings are used as a basis for the policy prescriptions outlined in this document. In this regard, Belize was ranked 119 out of 142 countries globally in the 2012 NRI. The rankings identified the following weaknesses in the country’s ICT environment: - Low broadband penetration - Relative lack of ICT affordability - Low individual/business/Government usage - Very low capacity for innovation in business - Lack of laws related to ICT - Poor contract management and enforcement - Low levels of venture capital financing - Poor quality education/school management - High levels of complexity and time required to start a business - Lack of competition - 39 Lack of staff training in the private sector
