Thank you for your answers.

But I would like to know if I can mention that 'sixty countries' (like it was in 2010), or 'llittle under hundred' or 'over a hundred' countries' are involved.

So it does not have to be precise.

The INASP/UNESCO Open Access Week competition has awarded grants to participants from 7 developing countries. Tthis competition drew responses from 12 developing countries and all participants were planning activities which would take place without the grant, the grant was intended to enhance the existing plans.

I want to know the answer too, I am writthing a article to introduce the open access week, the number is the most persuasive. Not only the number of countries, but also of institutions, organizations,etc. So perhaps openaccessweek.org should have a registration service?
