P1Strategy & Vision0.00 / 4Nascent
Comoros has a fellow-assigned score of 0.00 on Strategy and Vision, in the Nascent tier. Desk research in October 2026 left all 10 indicators not determined. It found no national AI strategy, policy or draft for Comoros (S1.1). The cross-country trackers consulted do not name Comoros, but the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization observatory and national government sites could not be checked, so absence is not confirmed. The research found no adoption date (S1.2), no ministerial or presidential AI statement (S1.3), no AI budget information (S1.4) and no information on AI policy consultation (S1.6). With no strategy located, sector prioritisation, roadmap, monitoring and review could not be assessed (S1.7, S1.8, S1.9, S1.10).
