BACKGROUND

UNDP's Digital Strategy lays out a bold vision, to help create a world in which digital is an empowering force for people and planet. UNDP’s Chief Digital Office (CDO) leads the implementation of the Digital Strategy by enabling, accelerating and promoting inclusive digital development within UNDP and throughout its programmatic work across 171 country offices and UNDP’s six signature solutions in the UNDP Strategic Plan.

Building on UNDP’s Digital Transformation framework, implementing inclusive Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) requires greater collaboration to create the ‘digital commons’ or the Digital Public Goods (DPGs) and accelerate work towards the Sustainable Development Goals. UNDP

puts people and human rights at the center of designing these systems so that they are intentionally inclusive and strengthens local digital ecosystems. UNDP’s approach advocates for an equal prominence to the ‘non-tech’ layers of governance, capacities, and community.

These bolster DPIs through institutional support, robust governance structures and sustained community engagement to provide citizen-centric services at speed, scale and with appropriate safeguards
