Digital and AI Inclusion for the Arab States
The digital portfolio reflects UNDP’s commitment to advancing an inclusive, human-centred digital transformation across the Arab States, with a particular focus on AI and digital inclusion. It brings together a set of complementary efforts that strengthen equitable access to digital and AI opportunities, expand foundational digital public infrastructure, and ensure that the potential of emerging technologies benefits all communities—especially women, youth, and marginalized groups. Grounded in the principle of leaving no one behind, the portfolio supports countries in developing the policies, skills, and institutional capabilities needed to responsibly harness AI and digital tools for sustainable development. By promoting regional cooperation, fostering inclusive innovation, and integrating AI-enabled solutions across priority sectors, these initiatives collectively contribute to more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready societies.
