Digital Adoption in Djibouti
65.0% internet use · 0.2911 e-government
This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Djibouti, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Djibouti is reported at 65.0% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
65.0% of Djibouti's population used the internet in 2024. The World Bank series is sourced from the International Telecommunication Union. The latest regional aggregate shown below is 64% for Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan & Pakistan in 2025.
Djibouti records 48 mobile subscriptions per 100 people in 2023 in the cited series. Subscriptions count active lines rather than unique residents, so a rate above 100 is possible. Across the indicators, treat missing observations explicitly before comparing it with another section.
The fixed-broadband figure for Djibouti is kept as a subscription rate rather than a household-access percentage. The two measures use different denominators. Missing observations are not estimated.
| Connectivity indicator | Djibouti | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals using the internet | 65.0% | 2024 |
| Mobile cellular subscriptions | 48 per 100 people | 2023 |
| Active mobile broadband subscriptions | N/A | N/A |
| Fixed broadband subscriptions | 1.47 per 100 people | 2023 |

| Adults with an account | 12.27% | 2011 |
| Women with an account | N/A | N/A |
| Men with an account | N/A | N/A |

The financial-inclusion figures for Djibouti come from survey indicators and are kept separate from telecom subscription measures. Account ownership and payment use measure different aspects of digital participation.
Data note: When comparing Djibouti with regional or global figures, use the year printed beside each value because collection periods can differ.

Sources & methodology
Djibouti is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world. When comparing countries, avoid merging unlike measures instead of assuming every dataset covers the same period.
Rounding: percentages are generally shown to one decimal place, subscription rates to up to two decimals and index scores to four decimals. Where no directly verified comparable value is available, DigifyWorld shows a dash instead of estimating a replacement.View sources used for this page
