UNDP Digital strategy
Future forward
AI, the Internet of Things, Blockchain, Virtual Reality; the future is coming @ us, fast. UNDP is splicing digital into its corporate DNA—harnessing its potential to do good for more people, better and faster.
Based on two concepts
There are two inter-related concepts that are important for UNDP’s Digital Strategy: Digitization and Digitalization. Digitization is the process of converting physical information into digital formats. It is commonly driven by technologies which focus on enhancing efficiency by automation of existing processes. Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change an organization’s business model, including creating new or improved ways of delivering services, and improving the quality of what is delivered.
Harnessing digital’s potential for development
We’re powering up UNDP’s already strong history of innovation, using the best tools in the smartest ways; building a bridge over the digital divide, fighting the ambitious battles of the future, today. For everybody.
