In March 2002, the Nicaraguan National Chamber of Industries (Cámara de las Industrias de Nicaragua, CADIN) commissioned an eReadiness-evaluation of Nicaragua based on the Harvard Guide. The evaluation should serve as background and founding material for the implementation of a National Development Gateway as part of World Bank?s initiative for Global Development Gateway. The authors decided to extent the scope of the evaluation into a general, geographically and by sectors disaggregated survey about the use of Information- and Communication Technologies in almost all segments of social activities in Nicaragua. The following text presents the most important findings and recommendations of the evaluation.
