Cameroon Scoring system: Panel members are asked to allocate their individual scores to the respective indicators after the qualitative discussion in an anonymous vote according to the following scale: 1 2 3 4 5 Country does not meet indicator. Country minimally meets aspects of the indicator. Country meets many aspects of indicator but progress may be too recent to judge. Country meets most aspects of indicator. Country meets all aspects of the indicator and has been doing so over time. Scores for each sector are determined as follows: Members of the panel will, after a qualitative group discussion, attach their individual point-score (1 – 5) to each sub-indicator of a sector. The sum of all individual scores will be divided by the number of panel members. The result will then be considered the final score for the sub-indicator. This qualitative report, including the scores, serves the purpose of measuring over time (based on bi-annual repetitions of the panel meetings) the progress or otherwise of developments in the media landscape.
