In response to the growing speed and power of new technologies, the United Nations Development Programme set out on a journey of digital transformation. When UNDP launched its digital strategy in 2019, we never expected just how important digital technologies would be to the world in 2020.

Virtual became the new normal. To cope with the crisis, digital transformation was urgently needed, and accelerated rapidly. UNDP rose to the challenge. First, we digitized ourselves. We moved the entire workforce online within 6 days. Then, we helped governments digitize. 

We supported over 60 countries with critical technologies, video conferencing services, and hardware supplies. We assisted governments as they moved their critical services online.

Across UNDP’s global network of country offices, over 250 digital responses to COVID-19 emerge. The use of digital helped countries rise to meet new challenges posed by the pandemic.
