Evidence snapshot for Mauritius
Mauritius has pursued multiple strategies to modernize its economy and expand digital access. The country anchored two decades of ICT-BPO growth through Ebène Cybercity, which now hosts 60+ buildings with 500,000+ square metres of office space and supports a sector of nearly 1,000 companies employing 33,000+ people contributing approximately 5.6% of GDP. On governance, a 2011 gender quota requiring parties to field at least one-third female candidates increased women's local government representation from 6.4% to 26.2% in the December 2012 elections. Digital inclusion efforts include DIVA, a government AI chatbot handling 500+ conversations monthly across eight ministries, and Digital Lab on the Go, which reached 3,500+ citizens across 30 regions since April 2024, though these digital initiatives lack independent outcome evaluations.
