The Digital Hour | Intentionally Inclusive - Boosting National Digital Transformation with an Inclusive Whole-of-Society Approach

We are excited to invite you to the webinar series "The Digital Hour" organized by the Chief Digital Office (CDO). If you are interested in all things digital, and want to know how others across UNDP and from other agencies and businesses are using digital to maximize their impact, this webinar series is for you.

About this session

What does an intentionally inclusive approach to national digital transformation involve? Why does an inclusive digital transformation matter for a country and its citizens? What can countries do to practice an inclusive approach and accelerate their national digital transformation journey?

For answers to these questions, join us on Tuesday, 1 November 2022 for THE DIGITAL HOUR – LEARNING, a knowledge exchange dialogue that will focus on inclusive digital transformation practices.

With learnings and insights from from UNDP Dominica and other SIDS, UNDP Ukraine, and UNDP Indonesia, the session will focus on how these countries used inclusive approaches in their digital journey. Starting with UNDP’s presentation about the concept of the inclusive digital transformation, the session will showcase the value of applying an inclusive lens to digital transformation and demonstrate how countries can boost theirs with concrete practices.
