What it is

While digital transformation for governments brings many opportunities, leading the change can also be complex, challenging, and full of risks. The rapid pace of change and immense amount of information can also be overwhelming, making learning a daunting task. 

This is why we launched the Capacity Development for Digital Transformation Project; to address the development needs of policymakers and government officials, empowering them to make informed decisions and policies in the digital era and support a human-centric digital transformation globally.

The project will train at least 5000 government officials and policymakers by 2027, equipping them with the necessary skills for developing and implementing national digital transformation policies and programmes effectively.  

UNDP will develop a total of 17 courses on the topics of digital transformation, data & data governance, digital public goods & digital public infrastructure, and digital services.
