72、oT connectionsImpact score methodologyWhere we do not have data for a metric on every UN member state,we apply the following method of imputation for countries with missing data:1.First,we calculate an average for each geographical-income cluster and apply the relevant cluster average for countries

73、with missing data.For example,if we do not have data on a metric for New Zealand,we look at the data we have for other high-income countries in the Asia-Pacific region and calculate the average.We then assign that value to New Zealand.2.If there is insufficient data to calculate a geographical-incom

74、e cluster average,we apply the relevant income cluster average.For example,if we do not have data on a metric for Seychelles and we do not have enough data to calculate an average for high-income Sub-Saharan Africa countries,then we apply the average for all high-income countries.While it is possibl

75、e to employ more sophisticated methods of data imputation,the results of the Mobile Industry Impact Report are ultimately reported at a global and regional level.Given that for each metric we have data that captures at least 75%of the global population,we believe that the approach provides an accura

76、te assessment of the mobile industrys impact on the SDGs at this level and is therefore proportionate.Nonetheless,there remain a number of areas where better data is needed.The following still require suitable metrics:the use of mobile to verify individuals identity the use of mobile internet in sch

77、ools and public education the use of mobile and mobile-internet services by businesses(by size and type).As part of the GSMAs reporting framework,we will continue to collect better data on these and other areas going forward to provide a robust analysis of the industrys impact on the SDGs.18 Impact

78、score methodology19 The next step is to calculate industry impact scores for each SDG.This is done using a bottom-up approach described below,using all available data for the 193 countries that have adopted the SDGs.A:Standardisation of metrics.Metrics that have been identified based on the drivers

79、are standardised on a zero to 100 scale to ensure comparability.This is based on a Theoretical Maximum and Minimum value,where 100 represents the best performance.In some cases,metric values are bounded(e.g.between zero and 100%for 2G,3G and 4G coverage),in which case there is an obvious maximum and

80、 minimum to use.Where this does not apply,we use the actual maximum and minimum values.For example,in the case of download speeds,if the highest speed was 40 Mbps and the lowest was 10 Mbps,the country with the highest speed would receive a score of 100(effectively representing the benchmark against

81、 which other countries are compared)and the country with the lowest speed would receive a score of zero.Other countries would be scored based on where they lie within the 10-40 range(e.g.a country with download speeds of 25 Mbps would receive a score of 50).The formulae used to standardise the indic

82、ators are as follows,depending on whether increases in the unstandardised indicator are positive.Where the industrys impact increases as the value of the metric increases:Where the industrys impact decreases as the value of the metric decreases:Metric_Norm=irepresents the normalised(zero 100)value o

84、 value of metric/sub-metric this does not vary by country B:Derivation of SDG impact score.The SDG impact score is obtained by averaging the underlying metric scores.This reflects the current performance of the mobile industry with respect to its theoretical maximum.C:Regional aggregation.Regional s

85、cores for metrics and SDGs are calculated as a population weighted average of the country-level scores.A high-level overview of this calculation framework is provided in Figure 7.Step 4:Impact score calculationsMetric_Norm=MetricMetric-Metric-MetriciTheoretical MaxTheoretical Maxi,DimensionedTheoret
