> in Africa. It presents findings related to prevalence of measurement in the

> region, the reasons why the different business categories investigated

> conduct Internet measurement as well as the metrics of interest to these

> entities. The survey also looked at the popular measurement platforms that

> the respondents use in their measurement activities as well as the

> platforms that are hosted by businesses and users in the African region.

> The survey also recorded responses related to data handling and privacy

> considerations. A total of 123 responses were received from 34 countries.

> The survey revealed that Internet measurements are not widely conducted in

> the region largely due to the inadequacy of deployed measurement platforms,

> the lack of awareness in the subject, and the lack of relevant skills to

> carry out the measurement tasks. We outlined some recommendations to remedy

> these issues.

> Happy reading.
