UNDP Digital Strategy 2022-2025 Summary

Core Content

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched a new Digital Strategy 2022-2025 to guide its digital transformation efforts over the next four years. This strategy builds on the previous Digital Strategy (2019-2021), which was instrumental in accelerating UNDP's response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy is structured into three main parts: Guiding principles and value proposition, Setting the course, and Strategy implementation approach and measuring results.

The strategy emphasizes the urgent need to close the digital divide, especially for vulnerable and marginalized populations, and highlights how digital technology can be a powerful enabler of sustainable development. It recognizes the dual role of digital in both programmatic and operational contexts, aiming to amplify development outcomes, build inclusive digital ecosystems, and transform UNDP into a digitally native organization.

Main Objectives

Programmatic Objectives

Digitally enabled programming: Embed digital across all UNDP programming to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Empowering digital ecosystems: Support countries in building inclusive and resilient digital ecosystems that protect human rights and ensure no one is left behind.

Operational Objective

Digitally native UNDP: Transform internal systems, processes, tools, and data to ensure the organization is equipped to support its programmatic objectives effectively.

Key Principles and Value Proposition

Human rights at the centre: Digital transformation must prioritize human rights, especially for marginalized communities.
Inclusive and gender-sensitive approaches: Ensure digital solutions are designed to leave no one behind, with a particular focus on women and other vulnerable groups.
Alignment with global standards: Support and align with international frameworks such as the UN Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Paris Agreement.
Open digital standards and data: Promote open standards and open data to enhance transparency, accountability, and innovation.
Strengthening local digital ecosystems: Work with local leaders, innovators, and institutions to foster sustainable, inclusive, and rights-based digital ecosystems.
Strategic partnerships: Collaborate with global and local stakeholders to catalyze inclusive digital development.
Proactive risk management: Anticipate and mitigate potential risks of digital technologies, particularly those that may impact human rights.

Strategy Implementation

The strategy outlines a bimodal approach, combining programmatic and operational transformations. It emphasizes the need for:

Strategic direction and accountability: Ensuring the strategy is aligned with UNDP's broader goals and that progress is monitored and reported.
Digital transformation roles and responsibilities: Establishing clear roles for the Chief Digital Office and other key bodies to lead the transformation.
Cultural change and digital literacy: Fostering a digital mindset among UNDP personnel and improving digital literacy to better utilize digital tools and systems.
Scanning the horizon: Anticipating future trends and challenges in digital development to stay ahead of the curve.

Supporting Frameworks

The Digital Strategy is aligned with:

UNDP Strategic Plan 2022-2025
Secretary-General's Roadmap for Digital Cooperation
Our Common Agenda
UNDP IT Strategy 2020-2023
UNDP Data Strategy 2020-2021
People For 2030 Strategy

Outcomes and Initiatives

The strategy outlines a set of outcomes that reflect the "changed state" of UNDP by the end of the 2022-2025 period, including:

Enhanced digital programming capabilities
Stronger and more inclusive digital ecosystems
A digitally competent and future-ready workforce
Improved internal systems and processes
Increased transparency and accountability through data and open platforms

Examples of priority initiatives include:

Expanding the Digital Advocates Network
Strengthening Data Futures platform
Supporting digital literacy and skills development
Enhancing data governance and sharing
Strengthening collaboration with local stakeholders and innovators

Challenges and Risks

The digital divide continues to exclude 2.9 billion people from digital connectivity.
Cybercrime and misinformation have increased, especially during the pandemic.
Reactive policy frameworks and limited infrastructure hinder effective digital transformation in many countries.
Digital technology can exacerbate inequalities if not designed inclusively.
Environmental impact from digital technologies, such as increased energy use and unsustainable consumption patterns, must be addressed.

Conclusion

The Digital Strategy 2022-2025 aims to future-proof UNDP by ensuring it remains a leading development partner in the digital age. It emphasizes digital inclusion, human rights, and sustainable development, while also addressing the risks and challenges associated with rapid digital transformation. The strategy is grounded in global standards, local engagement, and strategic partnerships, and it seeks to amplify UNDP's impact through a holistic and integrated digital approach.
