Digital Transformation

UNDP Serbia works together with the Government of Serbia and local digital ecosystem to create an environment in which technology empowers citizens, strengthens the economy, and protects nature. 

Our specific focus areas include:

  • Institutions and Policies - Building digitally-capable institutions and adaptable regulatory frameworks which embrace innovations.

  • Digital Government - Assisting institutions to provide reliable, secure, accessible and user-centered digital services. 

  • Public Sector Data - Using the power of data to improve public services and policies and stimulate creation of new value. 

  • Digital Skills - Equipping citizens with adequate skills to increase opportunities for everyone in a digital economy. 

  • Digital Ecosystems - Supporting diverse digital-focused communities and collaborating on important societal issues. 

  • Emerging Technologies - Navigating and managing technology advancements and trends shaping the future – for public good. 

Through numerous digital initiatives in the Serbia over the years, we have built a wide and strong network of partners coming from the government, civil society, academia, business sector and international development partners, spanning across the entire Serbian digital ecosystem, and working towards the common goal.

Our digital team

At UNDP Serbia, our Digital Team is at the heart of our mission to drive sustainable development through digital transformation, with a structure that combines expertise in technology, policy, and innovation. 

UNDP’s Digital Team in Serbia is organized in four units: 

  • Digital Portfolio – dedicated team of project managers, experts and advisors, working daily on digital initiatives with our partners.

  • Digital Advisor – a horizontal function which provides cross-departmental support for effective embedding of digital into everything we do.

  • Tech Cell – a technical implementation unit, providing technical and implementation support for various projects, both internally and to our partners.

  • Accelerator Lab – an R&D unit that supports our innovation work and connects us to the global network of 91 similar labs in 115 countries.

 

What Guides Our Digital Work

UNDP's global Digital Strategy serves as our guiding principle, navigating our efforts to harness the potential of digital transformation for sustainable development. This strategy takes a holistic approach to planning and designing digital public policy, ensuring that the benefits of digital technology reach everyone, particularly those who are marginalized or at risk of being left behind. 

It also focuses not only on harnessing the clear opportunities that innovation, data, and digital technologies bring, but also on ensuring that risks are considered and mitigated along the way. Our Digital Compass points towards a future where everyone can contribute to and benefit from the digital economy, fostering resilient, inclusive, and empowered societies to face 21st century challenges.
